(4/17)
Can you name all three of the female presenters of Desert Island Discs since 1988? And the tribal chieftain defeated by Julius Caesar when he was Proconsul in Gaul? If you can, you could give the contenders in this week's quiz a run for their money. Russell Davies asks the questions in the fourth heat of the 2021 season, which comes from Salford.

Taking part today are:
Helen West, a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities support lead from Bradford
Rachael Neiman-Wiseman, a record company owner from South Manchester
Alan Sharp, a writer and tour guide from York
Karl Whelan, a civil servant from the Wirral.

There's a place in the semi-finals awaiting the winner, with more than one place potentially up for grabs if the runner-up scores are high enough today. A listener will also have a chance to win a prize by providing questions that defeat the combined knowledge of the contestants, in 'Beat the Brains'.
