brain of britain

Brain of Britain is a BBC radio general knowledge quiz, broadcast on BBC Radio 4. The format of the quiz is simple. A contestant is asked a question; if they answer it correctly they get a point and are asked another. If they get one wrong the questions move to the next contestant. If a contestant gets five questions correct in a row then they get a bonus point and the questions move to the next contestant. The contestant with the most points at the end of the programme wins. The host of Brain of Britain has been Robert Robinson. For much of its life the theme music of Brain of Britain was the opening of the fourth movement of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, but in a 'modernised' version by Waldo de los Rios. This choice was the subject of frequent complaints from classical music fans (with whom the show was popular) and presenter Robert Robinson described it on air as "Mozart plus sacrilege". The theme was changed to a more conventional version in the early nineties.
