(1/17)
Russell Davies launches the 2017 season of the perennial general knowledge tournament, welcoming the first four contenders to the ±«Óãtv's Maida Vale studios. In the opening contest they hail from London, Carlisle, Richmond in Surrey and Elgin on the Moray Firth. Over the next few months a total of 48 hopeful contestants will be whittled down to 16 semi-finalists and, eventually, four Finalists - the prize being the title of 64th ±«Óãtv Brain of Britain.
Each week there'll also be a chance, as always, for a listener to win a prize by suggesting a pair of devious questions with which to 'Beat the Brains'.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
