BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 23/06/2014

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

Tom Sutcliffe presents the contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections. Wales and Northern Ireland both play their second match of the current series.

(6/12)
Explain why the symbol of Charlie Chaplin's dictator, and the company which merged with Mobil, might both have come under the scrutiny of MI5's Twenty Committee? 

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for the latest contest of cryptic connections, with Wales and Northern Ireland both playing their second match of the current series. Wales badly need a win if they're to stand a chance of retaining their title as Round Britain Quiz champions. 

David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander play for Wales, while Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney are the regulars for Northern Ireland. They'll win points depending on how far they get in answering the programme's convoluted questions without help. The more clues Tom has to give them, the fewer points they'll earn.

As always, the programme includes some of the best recent question ideas received from listeners.

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.
