Semi-Final 2, 2016
Russell Davies chairs the second semi-final in the 2016 series of the challenging quiz.
(14/17)
Russell Davies welcomes four more semi-finalists to the Radio Theatre in London, competing for a place in the 63rd Brain of Britain Final.
This week's competitors, from Edinburgh, Leicester, Buckinghamshire and Merseyside, are all either heat winners or top-scoring runners-up from earlier in the series. To win through to the Final they'll need to know the name of the battle commemorated by the climactic section of Tchaikovsky's '1812' overture, the surname of the Goods' neighbours in the sitcom The Good Life, and the sporting tournament whose winner is awarded the Wanamaker Trophy.
There'll also be the usual opportunity for a listener to 'Beat the Brains', with fiendish questions of his or her own devising.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
