Brain of Britain

Available for over a year

(1/17) The venerable general knowledge quiz returns for its 2024 tournament, with Russell Davies hosting the quest for this year's Brain of Britain. 48 competitors from around the UK set out to win one of the nation's most prestigious quizzing titles. Luck as well as knowledge comes into play, as the moment the competitors get a question wrong they lose their turn and may have to watch others forging ahead until the next round. There is a safety net for runners-up going forward to the semi-finals, but their scores will need to be impressive... Starting their bids for the title today are Richard Aubrey from London Brendan Curtis from Tunbridge Wells Heather Smith from Chichester Sophie Williamson from Norwich. Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner Producer: Paul Bajoria
