麻豆约拍

麻豆约拍 Radio 4's Brain of Britain champion Irene Thomas visits the home of the Open University, Milton Keynes.

An 'almost unconscious accumulation of knowledge' helped ex-chorus-girl Irene Thomas to become the first woman to win both the general knowledge and the three-yearly winners' contest, Brain Of Brains.

This time Irene gets to pose the questions as she tours the OU's headquarters.

Down Your Way was one of the 麻豆约拍's longest-running radio series - starting on the 麻豆约拍 麻豆约拍 Service in 1946 and ending its run on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 1992. Using a variety of hosts, including Richard Dimbleby and Brian Johnston, the programme toured villages, towns and cities across the UK. At the height of its success in the 1950s, the series was attracting 10 million listeners a week.

Irene Thomas died aged 81 in 2001.

Producer: Jill Marshall

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 1988.
