Heat 8, 2021
Four more competitors join Russell Davies to put their general knowledge to the test, in a bid for the title Brain of Britain 2021.
(8/17)
In the 1570s who was the most famous member of the Spanish Marines? Which campaigning organisation was founded by Peter Benenson? And who was the singer in the punk band the Modern Lovers? Russell Davies puts these questions, and many more, to the contenders in today's heat of the general knowledge tournament.
Today's winner will take another of the places in the semi-finals coming up in a month or so's time. The contenders today are:
Gill Powell, a music and legacy festival manager from Herefordshire
Phil Small, a contracts director from Reading
Laura Trowern, a teaching assistant from Southsea in Hampshire
Allie Wharf, a seaweed farmer from Warham in Norfolk.
There's also a chance for a Brain of Britain listener to win a prize by defeating the assembled Brains with quiz questions of his or her own.
