Heat 6, 2023
Russell Davies hosts the prestigious general knowledge challenge from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Salford studios.
(6/17)
Brain of Britain comes from Salford for the second time this series, with Russell Davies putting the contenders through their paces on all aspects of general knowledge. At least one of them will be going through to the semi-finals later in the autumn and taking a step closer to being named the 2023 champion. Will they know which presenter launched Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5Live, or the common name for the illness pertussis? What about the title of Gustave Flaubert's last novel, or the first Russian Tsar?
Appearing today are
Tracey Lambert from Downpatrick
Brian Leddy from Glasgow
Julia Mayer from Liverpool
Gareth Williams from Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire.
There'll also be a chance for a listener to win a prize by stumping the contenders with questions he or she has devised.
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
