BBC Radio 4 - Brain of Britain, The Final, 2021

The grand final of the general knowledge quiz, chaired by Russell Davies.

The 2021 season of the general knowledge contest comes to a climax with the grand final from London, chaired by Russell Davies.

(17/17)
Russell Davies welcomes the four competitors whose wide general knowledge has propelled them through heats and semi-finals, who now take their place on the stage for the 2021 Brain of Britain Final. 

Their knowledge will be truly put to the test in order for them to leap the final hurdle and hold the trophy. Which Greek letter is used in physics to denote wavelength? Which was the first US state to ratify the constitution? What would you take an antitussive medicine for?

An appreciative audience is on hand to encourage the competitors and cheer the eventual champion, who'll become the 68th official BBC Brain of Britain.
