Don't think so, jesmond. It is on Radio 4 currently. Mondays at 15:30, repeated at 23:00 on Saturdays.

Good history of it here:

There was a BBCtv programme called "Ask Me Another". From Radio Times for 9 June 1958... A General Knowledge contest based on the popular sound programme 'What Do You Know?'
Each week a new team of challengers will compete against members of the general public who in successive years have won the annual
' Brain of Britain ' contest

"Television Brain of Britain" started on BBC1 in September 1969...
