Russell Davies hosts the seventh heat of the ever-popular general knowledge quiz, featuring competitors from Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Kent.

(7/17)
Competitors from Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Kent join Russell Davies for the seventh heat of the general knowledge quiz.

To win a place in the semi-finals they'll have to face questions such as which of the asteroids is the brightest as seen from earth, and which mainland South American country's coast is just seven miles from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago?

There's also the usual opportunity for a listener to win a prize by stumping the competitors with questions of his or her own, in 'Beat the Brains'.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
