BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 01/10/2012

Tom Sutcliffe chairs Wales v Northern Ireland in the game of lateral thinking.

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair, as Wales and Northern Ireland compete in the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

If an Inn of Court, an anatomy textbook and the Master of Ceremonies in 'Cabaret' are three, how many more are needed to create a publishing sensation?

Tom Sutcliffe puts this and other cryptic questions to the teams in the fifth programme of the current Round Britain Quiz series, who this week represent Wales and Northern Ireland. The regulars for Wales are David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander, while Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney compete for Northern Ireland. 

They'll be groping for half-remembered snippets of knowledge drawing on literature, languages, sport, popular culture, and history both ancient and recent, in order to answer the programme's trademark puzzles. 

As usual the programme includes a smattering of question ideas from listeners, and suggestions are always welcome.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
