Heat 5, 2015
The 2015 season of the general knowledge quiz reaches the fifth heat, with Russell Davies asking the questions.
(5/17)
Which singer was fatally shot by his father on the first of April 1984? And in the name of the West African terror group, what do the words 'Boko haram' actually mean?
Russell Davies puts these and many other questions to the participants in the fifth heat of the 2015 series, which comes from the University of Salford. The winner will go through to the semi-finals in April - and others may too, as there are places for the highest-scoring runners-up across the series.
As always there's a chance for a listener to 'Beat the Brains' by suggesting a devious pair of questions with which to try and defeat the combined brainpower of the contestants.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
