The tension mounts as Russell Davies welcomes the last of this year's semi-finalists in the nationwide general knowledge quiz. One of them will take the last remaining place in next week's Final, and stand a real chance of becoming the sixtieth holder of the title Brain of Britain.

Russell's questions will test their knowledge in every field. Will they know with which disease the immunologist Edward Jenner infected his subjects in the attempt to make them immune to smallpox? Or what the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used to measure?

As always, a listener will get the chance to win a prize by 'Beating the Brains', if his or her questions can stump the combined brainpower of the contestants.
