Semi-final 1, 2021

The first four semi-finalists of the 2021 season join Russell Davies in London, to compete for a place in the Final.

(13/17)
Brain of Britain reaches the semi-final stage, as the first four of this year's heat winners and high scorers play off for a place in the 2021 Final. Russell Davies asks the questions. Will the contenders know what the French football referee Stephanie Frappart was the first to do? Or which is the largest castle in Wales? Or who was the first Australian performer to win a Grammy award?

The semi-finalists today are
Chris Kilbride, a retired maths teacher from St Austell in Cornwall
Mark Manson, a restaurateur from Carmarthen
Rachael Neiman-Wiseman, a record label owner from Manchester
Phil Small, a contracts director from Reading.

As always, there will also be the chance for a Brain of Britain listener to win a prize by stumping the Brains with questions he or she has devised.
