(10/17)
Russell Davies puts four more would-be Brains of Britain through the toughest of general knowledge tests, at the Radio Theatre in London.

Why is the chemical element argon so named? In which TV series did the heroes have to defeat the lumbering Cybernauts, even before the Cybermen made their first appearance in Dr Who? Who, according to the title of the play in which they feature, were Bob Acres and Captain Jack Absolute?

The winner today will win a place in the semi-finals in a few week's time, but there could be a chance for a runner-up to go through too, if any of them scores highly enough to be one of the top scorers of the series.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
