Russell Davies welcomes four more contenders to the third heat of the prestigious general knowledge contest.
3/17)
The collective noun a 'business' or 'busyness' is used for a group of which mammals? And Joanne Wheatley, John Whaite and Nancy Birtwistle have all had the distinction of winning which TV reality contest?
Russell Davies will be testing whether the contenders in this week's third heat of the general knowledge quiz are up to the challenge of these, and many other questions. They come from London, Norfolk, Essex and Kent - and each will be hoping their general knowledge may see them through to the semi-finals and perhaps even taking their place on the illustrious list of Brain of Britain champions.
As usual, there's a chance for a Brain of Britain listener to win a prize too, by coming up with questions that might stump the combined knowledge of the panel.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
