The 2022 season of the general knowledge quiz reaches its climax, with the four most formidable of this year's contenders now within reach of the Brain of Britain title. Whether by impressive margins or by the skin of their teeth, they have seen off all comers in heats and semi-finals.

The contenders for the title are:
Marianne Fairthorne from London
