BBC Radio 4 - Brain of Britain, Semi-final 3, 2022

The nationwide general knowledge contest chaired by Russell Davies

Russell Davies puts the questions to another set of semi-finalists in the prestigious general knowledge quiz, with a place in the 2022 Final at stake.

The Egyptian goddess Bastet took the form of which animal? Which flower gave its name to a revolution in Tunisia in 2011? What are the opening words of The Godfather? 

Another quartet of semi-finalists lines up to face Russell Davies' questions. They have all won their heats in recent months, or been one of the top-scoring runners-up, so a keen contest is guaranteed. Only one of them can go through to the 2022 Final and stand a chance of becoming the 69th person to be named BBC Brain of Britain.

Taking part are:
Crispin Dawes from London
Marianne Fairthorne from London
Will Howells from London
Thomas Leeming from Adlington in Lancashire

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
