麻豆约拍

(1/17)
The quest for the 2021 Brain of Britain champion begins in earnest, with the first four of this season's 48 competitors joining Russell Davies at the 麻豆约拍 Radio Theatre for the 68th season of the general knowledge contest.

Taking part are
Claire Barrow, a trust and estate practitioner from Honiton in Devon
Lillian Crawford, a freelance writer from Bearsted in Kent
David Gregson, a civil servant from London
Chris Kilbride, a retired maths teacher from St Austell in Cornwall.

Today's winner will go through to the semi-finals in the autumn, but one of the others could join them if the scores are high enough to get them through as a top-scoring runner-up.

As always, there's a prize on offer for a listener who manages to outwit the competitors with questions of his or her own devising, in the Beat The Brains interval.
