BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 26/05/2014

Tom Sutcliffe is joined by teams from around the UK for the lateral thinking quiz.

Tom Sutcliffe is joined by teams from the Midlands and the North of England for the latest contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

(2/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair, as the Midlands take on the North of England for the first time in the 2014 series. Writer Rosalind Miles and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's Chief Executive, Stephen Maddock, play against author Adele Geras and Durham University academic Diana Collecott. As always, they'll be called upon to dredge the most arcane information from their memory banks in order to tackle the programme's trademark cryptic questions. The more help Tom has to give them in working out the answers, the fewer points they'll score. 

The programme includes a selection of questions suggested by listeners, and ideas are always gratefully received via the Round Britain Quiz website. 

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.
