BBC Radio 4 - Brain of Britain, Heat 8, 2017

The wide-ranging general knowledge quiz, chaired by Russell Davies.

Competitors from Inverness, Kent, Brighton and Hertfordshire join Russell Davies for the eighth heat in the 2017 season of the annual general knowledge tournament.

(8/17)
Russell Davies welcomes another four competitors to the BBC's Maida Vale studios for the latest general knowledge contest. Will they know the shared name of Jane Austen's mother and sister, what specific number the word 'myriad' technically means, or where Stalin was born? If they do, they may be in with a chance of a place in the semi-finals, and be another step nearer to the 64th Brain of Britain title.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
