BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 17/10/2011

Tom Sutcliffe is joined by teams from around the UK in the game of lateral thinking.

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, with Northern Ireland playing the South of England.

10/12
Northern Ireland take on the South of England in the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair to ensure all is fair. The last time these teams faced one another, the South of England won - will the tables be turned today?

The writer Polly Devlin and historian Brian Feeney play for Northern Ireland, while the South of England regulars are Fred Housego and Marcel Berlins. As usual they'll need to dredge their memory banks for chunks of history, literature, music, science, etymology and popular culture, in order to answer Tom's fiendish questions.

The programme also includes a selection of questions suggested by Round Britain Quiz listeners, and Tom will be providing the answer to last week's teaser question: 'If you enjoyed our hospitality with the navigator and the general, you might welcome a night out with Bruce Wayne and Annie - why would this be?'

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
