BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 15/08/2011

Six teams from around the UK compete in the game of lateral thinking.

The first contest in the new series of the evergreen cryptic quiz, with teams from the South of England and the North of England joining chairman Tom Sutcliffe.

(1/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for the first contest in the 2011 series of radio's longest-lived quiz. Tackling the cryptic clues and devious lateral thinking puzzles today are Marcel Berlins and Fred Housego of the South of England, opposite Diana Collecott and Jim Coulson representing the North.

Other regulars appearing in the new series include Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland, Stephen Maddock and Rosalind Miles of the Midlands, and the defending champions David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander of Wales. 

Each week Tom will also present a teaser question for listeners to tackle, with the answer revealed at the beginning of the following edition. As always, the series also includes a wide selection of questions written by RBQ listeners in an attempt to outwit the panel. 

Producer Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
