Heat 5, 2017
Russell Davies welcomes another four competitors to the long-running general knowledge contest.
(5/17)
What's the current name of the country formerly known as South West Africa? Which famous theatrical partnership wrote the musical 'Allegro'? Who is the shortest-serving British Prime Minister of the last 100 years?
If the competitors in today's fifth heat of Brain of Britain can answer these questions they may stand a fighting chance of a semi-final place in this year's tournament. Russell Davies is in the chair with the unpredictable and challenging general knowledge questions for which the quiz is renowned. Even the most seasoned of quiz contestants can slip up...
There'll also be a chance, as always, for a listener to stump the contestants with questions of his or her own devising, and win a prize for doing so.
Producer Paul Bajoria.
