The panellists from Wales and Northern Ireland join Tom Sutcliffe for the latest cryptic contest in the 2013 season of the quiz. They need to draw on all their powers of recall and obscure knowledge in tackling Tom's questions, such as:

'Why would Umberto Eco be interested in a Polish-born revolutionary, a time-travelling Tyler, Mrs Gorbachev and Laurie's Miss Burdock?'

Writer Roisin McAuley and historian Brian Feeney play for Northern Ireland, while the Welsh team consists of defending Round Britain Quiz champions Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards.

As always, Tom will be picking the best of the questions submitted to the programme by listeners in recent months, to put to the teams.
