Tom Sutcliffe is joined by teams from the South of England and Northern Ireland in the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

(4/12)
Tom Sutcliffe welcomes the teams from the South of England and Northern Ireland to the fiendish contest of lateral thinking. In the latest heat Marcel Berlins and Fred Housego play for the South of England, while the Northern Ireland regulars are the novelist Polly Devlin and historian Brian Feeney.

As always, the questions draw on the deepest recesses of the contestants' memory stores in science, history, sport, and high and popular culture. Tom will also have the answer to last week's teaser question which was:

Why might a hawk have its eye on a play by Goldsmith, the home of Harlequins, and the entrance to a New York tenement?

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.
