The nationwide general knowledge contest chaired by Russell Davies.

Russell Davies puts general knowledge questions to another four contenders for the title Brain of Britain 2022.

The contenders in today's heat of the prestigious general knowledge quiz will need to have ready answers to these and many other questions, as Russell Davies hosts the contest from the Radio Theatre in London. The winner will take another of the few remaining semi-final places in the current series.
