(9/17)
The quest for the 63rd 91热爆 Brain of Britain reaches heat nine, with Russell Davies in the question master's chair and four contestants from the 91热爆 Counties and the West Midlands.
What name for a type of seafarer or pirate is thought to derive from a Caribbean word meaning 'to dry meat on a barbecue'? Which was the first western to win an Oscar for Best Picture?
The contestants face these and many other tough teasers on their way to a possible semi-final place. A Brain of Britain listener also stands a chance of being a winner by providing fiendish questions with which to try and 'Beat the Brains'.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
