Who knows most about William Shakespeare and his works? Russell Davies welcomes four experts from the theatre and the world of Shakespeare studies, in order to find out.

Much-loved theatre and film actors Fiona Shaw and John Sessions take on experts Carol Rutter of the University of Warwick and Paul Edmondson of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Questions range across Shakespeare's life, plays and poems, and there'll be plenty of musical and archive extracts to identify. The winner will lift the trophy as the official ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 'Bard Brain of Britain'. Producer: Paul Bajoria First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in May 2016.
