BBC Radio 4 - Brain of Britain, Heat 8, 2015

Russell Davies asks the questions in the nationwide general knowledge quiz.

Competitors from London, Bath and Belfast join Russell Davies for the eighth heat of the general knowledge quiz.

(8/17)
'They're young... they're in love... and they kill people' was the promotional tag-line for which 1967 film release?

This and many other general knowledge questions face the competitors in the eighth heat of 'Brain of Britain', who this week come from London, Bath and Belfast. Russell Davies is in the questionmaster's chair - and music, history, politics, mythology, geography, science and popular culture are all fair game for Russell's questions. The winner will take another of the automatic places in the semi-finals of the 2015 contest later in the spring.

There's also a chance for a listener to win a prize by outwitting the contestants with his or her own question ideas, in 'Beat the Brains'.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
