Brain of Britain champions compete in the ultimate general knowledge contest.

The three most recent Radio 4 Brain of Britain champions compete in the ultimate general knowledge contest, chaired by Russell Davies.

To herald a new series of 'Brain of Britain' starting next week, the three most recent 'Brain of Britain' champions compete for the prestigious title 'Brain of Brains'. Russell Davies chairs this turbo-charged edition of the evergreen general knowledge quiz, at the BBC Radio Theatre in London.

The competitors are the 2008 champion Geoff Thomas from Northwich in Cheshire; the 2010 champion Dr Ian Bayley from Oxford; and the reigning 'Brain of Britain', Dr Iwan Thomas from Beeston in Notts. It's anyone's guess which of these seasoned quiz champions will emerge victorious.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
