Semi-Final 1, 2023
Russell Davies is in the chair as the first set of semi-finalists for 2023 take a step closer to the prestigious title Brain of Britain
(13/17)
Three of the heat winners from the past few months, alongside one of the highest-scoring runners-up, compete in the first semi-final of the general knowledge contest. Questionmaster Russell Davies puts them through their paces as they vie for a place in the 2023 Final and a real chance of being named Brain of Britain.
Will they know what the word 'Chipping' means in English town names, or in which sport Nelly Korda has won Olympic gold? Or which musician appeared at an awards ceremony with the word 'Slave' written across his face?
As always there'll also be a chance for a Brain of Britain listener to win a prize with questions he or she hopes will defeat the panel.
Appearing today are:
Ian Fennell from Kidderminster
Gill Hollis from Lichfield
Colin Kidd from Bushey in Hertfordshire
John Robinson from Birmingham.
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
