BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 16/09/2013

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

Tom Sutcliffe returns with a new series of the panel game of cryptic connections, between regions of the UK. The first contest pits The Midlands against Scotland.

(1/12)

'In what way could a major Scottish river, a senior barrister, an area of well-trimmed grass, and Birkin's lover, be of material interest to a Nottingham smith?'

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for the first contest in the 2013 season of the much-loved cryptic quiz between UK regions. The first match pits The Midlands against Scotland, attempting to answer the programme's trademark questions which require lateral thinking across a wide field of knowledge, from literature, history, music and the natural world to current affairs and popular culture.

The series includes more selections than ever from listeners' own question ideas, which can be submitted by e-mail or via the programme's webpages.

Wales have dominated the contest in recent years, so the other teams will be going all-out to loosen the Welsh grip on the Round Britain Quiz title. The champion team will be the one that wins the greatest number of matches across the series.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
