Semi-final 2, 2022

Russell Davies puts the questions to another set of semi-finalists in the general knowledge quiz.

The semi-finals of the 2022 season continue, with another three outright heat winners and one of the top-scoring runners-up taking their place in the spotlight. One of them will go through to the Final and stand a real chance of becoming the 69th person to take the title Brain of Britain.

Russell Davies asks the questions, which encompass computer-generated music, the beliefs of Rastafarianism and the layout of a Monopoly board - among many other topics. The competition at this stage of the tournament is stiff, and the contenders need speed on the buzzer as well as wide knowledge. It's sure to be close.

Taking part are:
Catherine Bates from West London
Jamie Hall from Manchester
Ned Pendleton from Northamptonshire
Sarah Trevarthen from Manchester

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