Russell Davies hosts the prestigious general knowledge quiz, with competitors from around the UK aiming to become Brain of Britain 2022

The latest heat of the general knowledge contest comes from Media City UK in Salford, where four competitors from Scotland and northern England gather to face Russell Davies's wide-ranging questions. Their knowledge of sport, UK geography, cinema, popular culture, classical music, history and science will all be put to the test today.

The winner will take a place in the semi-finals of the 2022 series, to be held in the autumn.

Taking part today are:
Lindsay Easton, a guest house owner from Blair Atholl in Perthshire
Rob Moran, a science teacher from County Durham
Gail Treliving, a retired teacher from Durham City
Ian Wilkinson, a retired advice worker from Hull.

A listener also stands to win a prize if a pair of questions he or she has devised can stump the assembled Brains.
