The eighth heat in the 2014 series of the nationwide general knowledge quiz is chaired by Russell Davies at the ±«Óãtv Radio Theatre in London.
(8/17)
What traditional size of paper gets its name because it is produced by folding a standard sheet eight times? And John Lennon's childhood home in Liverpool was named after which range of hills?
Russell Davies asks these and many other questions in the latest heat of the prestigious general knowledge quiz, now in its 61st season. The four contestants taking part today are competing for a semi-final place which will take them a step nearer to the coveted title of Brain of Britain 2014.
They come from Brighton, St Austell, Hedgerley Green in Buckinghamshire, and Kingswood in Surrey.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
