A brainy Colchester youngster will go under the spotlight to fight for the title of Junior Mastermind 2004.
Does she have the right stuff? Yolanda Leask hopes to prove she is the Junior Mastermind champ
Eleven-year-old Yolanda Leask will appear on the junior version of the well-known BBC1 show tonight.
She will be one of the UK's cleverest children racking her brains throughout this week to try to secure herself a spot in the final on Saturday.
The black chair, the spotlight, the ominous theme tune and quick-fire questions from the fearsome John Humphrys - the only thing that's changed is the age of the contenders.
Yolanda faces two minutes on her specialist subject, The Girls in Love series of books by Jacqueline Wilson.
