Semi-Final 1, 2016

The notoriously challenging general knowledge quiz reaches the semi-final stage, with Russell Davies asking the questions.

(13/17)
The competition steps up a gear with the start of the 2016 semi-finals, chaired by Russell Davies. Three heat winners and one of the top-scoring runners-up across the series compete for a place in the 2016 Final.

On which of the Hawaiian islands is Pearl Harbor? How many players are there on a Gaelic football team? And which character in Disney's original cartoon of The Jungle Book was voiced by the actor George Sanders?

As always, there's also a chance for a Brain of Britain listener to 'Beat the Brains' by suggesting devious questions of his or her own with which to outwit the competitors.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
