BBC Radio 4 - Brain of Britain, 31/03/2014

The 2014 final of the nationwide general knowledge quiz, chaired by Russell Davies.

The cream of this year's contestants compete in the 2014 final of the nationwide general knowledge quiz, with Russell Davies in the questionmaster's chair.

(17/17)
The four competitors who have come through heats and semi-finals unscathed now face each other in the 2014 Final - with the 61st annual Brain of Britain title at stake.

Russell Davies asks the questions in what promises to be a nail-biting contest between four of the brightest and most determined quizzing minds in Britain. As usual the questions fall entirely at random, and the only rule is that a contestant's turn is over once he or she has answered five correctly in a row. 

There's also the usual interval in which the Brains pool their knowledge to tackle a pair of questions as a team rather than as rivals - and, by tradition, the questions for the Final have been set by the reigning Brain of Britain champion. 

The programme comes from the BBC Radio Theatre in London.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
