The Cleverest Place In the West Midlands

Heart Breakfast: Big Town Showdown Final

01:49

57 towns have accepted the challenge but only one can be the Cleverest in the West Midlands.

Today Solihull was the final town to take on the ten general knowledge questions of the Big Town Showdown, with the aim of beating the time set by Les from Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.

Despite a valiant effort, Les's time proved unbeatable crowning him and the Jewellery Quarter the winners of this season's Big Town Showdown.

To celebrate, Ed and Rachel organised a surprise for Les, turning St. Paul's Square into a winter wonderland complete with snow, decorations and even Santa himself!

Not only that, but they also sorted out Christmas for the lucky local, with a whole host of prizes including:

A year's Sky subscription to catch all of their unmissable shows. 
A 40" HD TV
A host of Christmas dinner fayre including a giant turkey, mince pies, potatoes, crackers and even sprouts!
Personalised Christmas sacks for his children including a variety of sweet treats
