Heat 6, 2016
Four more competitors join Russell Davies for the nationwide general knowledge quiz.
(6/17)
The sixth heat in the current season of the general knowledge quiz comes from Salford, with competitors from Shropshire, Merseyside and Lincolnshire making their bid for the title of Brain of Britain 2016.
Russell Davies asks the programme's traditionally testing questions. Could you remember who narrated the original series of The Clangers; who was runner-up in the Sports Personality of the Year award for 2015; or say what the time difference is between Perth and Sydney?
Today's winner will go through to the 2016 semi-finals later in the spring. For a bit of light relief the contestants will have to combine their knowledge to answer questions devised by a Brain of Britain listener, who'll win a prize if they can't do so successfully.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
