BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 22/10/2012

Tom Sutcliffe presides over a contest between teams from Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Tom Sutcliffe presides as Alan Taylor and Michael Alexander of Scotland take on Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland.

(8/12)
Why might you find Julia Roberts and King Lear's daughters on a pedestrian crossing in Louisiana?

This is just the first of the mind-bending puzzles the teams in today's contest have to tackle. Alan Taylor and Michael Alexander of Scotland take on Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland, in a return fixture following Northern Ireland's victory a few weeks ago.

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair, to award points and to give the teams the gentlest of verbal nudges when they seem to be struggling. As usual the programme features two questions devised by Round Britain Quiz listeners. The programme was recorded in County Antrim: but does this give the Northern Ireland team any home advantage?

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.
