Heat 6, 2021

Russell Davies asks the questions in the challenging quiz, with contestants today from the West Midlands and the North West of England.

(6/17)
Another four contenders join Russell Davies for a socially-distanced contest in Salford, the latest heat in the 2021 season of the nationwide quiz. Today's winner will take another step towards the coveted title of Brain of Britain, by making it through to the semi-finals later this year. Among other things they'll need to know the name of Joe Biden's dog, which priest warned the Trojans not to let the wooden horse into their city, and the lyrics of 'Africa' by Toto.

Taking part today are:
Malcolm Barraclough, an office manager from Leeds
Derek Heyes, a retired teacher from Horwich near Bolton
Sarah Hunt, a police force communications officer from the Black Country
Neil Wright, a retired biomedical scientist from the Wirral.

The programme also includes 'Beat the Brains', in which a listener gets a chance to challenge the competitors with questions he or she has devised.
