Russell Davies chairs the twelfth and last of the 2015 heats.

The twelfth and last of the 2015 heats of the prestigious general knowledge quiz, chaired by Russell Davies.

(12/17)
The 2015 season of the nationwide general knowledge quiz reaches the last of the heats, with Russell Davies in the questionmaster's chair. With just one more automatic place in the semi-finals to be decided, and four places available to the top-scoring runners-up of the series, it all hinges on the outcome of today's contest.

Russell's unpredictable questions include which three words appear in the centre of the Brazilian flag, and what type of motion is described by the Navier-Stokes equations.

The contestants in this final heat are from London, Oxford, High Wycombe and Bristol.

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.
