Heat 9, 2021
Russell Davies welcomes four contenders to Salford for another heat of the general knowledge quiz.
(9/17)
Competitors from Belfast, Edinburgh, County Durham and Merseyside join Russell Davies for the general knowledge contest.
Which metal is extracted from its ore using the Kroll process? Spook, The Brain and Fancy-Fancy were companions of which cartoon character? And which play was Abraham Lincoln watching when he was shot? These and many other answers will be required, in order to stand a chance of getting through to the semi-finals. There's also a chance for a listener to win a prize by stumping the Brains with his or her own questions.
Today's competitors are
Innis Carson, a researcher living in Belfast
Dorothy Clarkson, a retired superintendent registrar from Weardale in County Durham
Dave McBryan, a writer from Edinburgh
John O'Malley, a retired doctor from Liverpool.
The programme was recorded in Salford under socially distanced conditions.
