Semi-Final 3, 2021

Another four semi-finalists join Russell Davies in the challenging general knowledge contest for the title Brain of Britain 2021.

(15/17)
Which performing artist is the focus of the movie Amazing Grace? Which bird features on the flag of Papua New Guinea? Russell Davies puts these and a wide range of other questions to the semi-finalists in today's contest, in which another place in the 2021 Brain of Britain Final will be decided. The programme was recorded at the Radio Theatre in London under socially distanced conditions, with no audience.

The competitors are:
Alan Burns, a former solicitor from Salford
Toby Cox, a civil servant from Prestbury in Gloucestershire
John Payne, a warehouse operative from Manchester
Karl Whelan, a civil servant from the Wirral.

As always, the Brains will also tackle a pair of questions suggested by a listener who'll win a prize if his or her questions stump the panel.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
