BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 25/11/2013

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

(11/12)
Can you re-arrange a tidal wave so it becomes a Richard Burton epic, a Dutch migrant, or a handicap in York?

Journalist and author Marcel Berlins and former Mastermind Fred Housego take on the literary historian Michael Alexander and the journalist Alan Taylor, in this week's battle of wits between the South of England and Scotland. Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair, asking the questions and giving out helpful clues wherever the teams need them. But the more helpful hints he has to give, the more points he deducts from their scores. 

A win for either team could make a big difference to their final positions in this year's Round Britain Quiz rankings, as the end of the 2013 series approaches.

As usual there are several questions suggested by listeners hoping to outwit the panel, and the questions are available in full on the programme's webpages so you can play along.

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.
