The eleventh heat of the prestigious general knowledge quiz is chaired by Russell Davies, with competitors from London, Surrey and Bristol.

(11/17)
In the name of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, what does the 'hebdo' part mean? And which two cities did Winston Churchill cite in 1946 as the northern and southern end-points of the newly-created 'Iron Curtain'? 

The eleventh heat of radio's longest-running general knowledge quiz is chaired by Russell Davies. Competitors from London, Surrey and Bristol vie for one of the few remaining semi-final places, and a chance to take another crucial step towards the title of 62nd Brain of Britain. 

The Brains will also face a challenge from a listener hoping to defeat their combined knowledge with his or her own question suggestions.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
