In which sport might you use an 'eggbeater kick'? And which writer created the Swedish detective Wallander? The competitors in today's Brain of Britain heat will need to know the answers to these and many other questions, if they're to stand a chance of winning through to the series semi-finals. Russell Davies is in the questionmaster's chair, in a programme recorded in Salford under Covid restrictions. Today's competitors are all from the North of England.

They are:
Colin Atkinson, a retired financial adviser from Newcastle
Alan Hodgson, a part-time customer service assistant from Macclesfield
Paul Hood, a retired civil servant from Oldham
Gaetana Trippetti, a support assistant in film and TV, from South Cheshire.

There will also be a chance for a Brain of Britain listener to win a prize by challenging the Brains with questions he or she has suggested.
