BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 29/10/2012

Tom Sutcliffe puts his mind-bending questions to teams from Wales and the Midlands.

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the evergreen contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections. Teams from Wales and the Midlands compete.

(9/12)
In Spain, why would Mr Kipling have preferred not only a sponge cake to a woman, but also a crown and a bull?

Tom Sutcliffe puts this and other mind-bending questions to the regulars from Wales and the Midlands, in the latest heat of the cryptic quiz. David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander play for Wales, while the defending champions from the Midlands are Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock. There's a lot at stake, as whichever team wins today's contest may stand a strong chance of taking the Round Britain Quiz title for 2012. 

Tom will also have the answer to the question he left unanswered at the end of last week's edition - and will be setting a new teaser for this week. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
