The people at Brain of Britain have messaged me again. It’s audition time.
For context, last year I made it to the zoom audition, scored 93% but didn’t get through to the show on Radio 4. They automatically entered me into this year’s process.
I’m less prepared this time. I’ve still got my lists, and the things I’ve drilled into my head do cover a wide range of facts, but it still feels almost impossible to be ready. I was fortunate last year, but I’m well aware that quizzing is essentially a game of luck, in which you can work very hard to improve your odds by probably only the smallest of margins. What comes up, comes up. Plus, there’s not much time to revise - auditions are next week.
It takes the form of a multiple choice quiz over zoom. Thirty questions - I guess four options for each one. My guess is that they’ll throw in everything from recent music to ancient history, some sport, some geography, some obscure foody question (my absolute least favourite topic) and a few oddballs to make people chuckle.
That’s what I would do anyway. That, and brush up on everything there is to know about Dua Lipa.
