BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 04/11/2013

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

The North of England take on Wales in the contest of cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair.

(8/12)
'How might a legendary fire-fighter, an Islamic festival and a case of the winter blues engender articles in Der Spiegel?'

Tom Sutcliffe welcomes the teams from the North of England and Wales to the latest bout of cerebral sparring - with the North hoping to turn the tables on the Welsh who defeated them the last time they met.

Diana Collecott and Jim Coulson represent the North of England. Opposite them are David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander for Wales. How many points they score on the programme's notoriously impenetrable questions depends on how many clues Tom has to give them to help them arrive at the answers.

As always, there are several fiendish suggestions from Round Britain Quiz listeners hoping their question ideas might outwit the panel.

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.
