BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 14/07/2014

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

Tom Sutcliffe puts cryptic questions to the rival panellists from the Midlands and Wales in this week's keenly-fought contest.

(9/12)
This week's contest of lateral thinking and convoluted connections pits the Midlands against Wales for the second time this season, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair to ensure fair play and to provide gentle hints wherever needed. 

Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock of the Midlands are making their final appearance of the series, and they need a victory against Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards of Wales to stay in the running for the overall series title. 

The questions require often-arcane snippets of knowledge of history, the visual arts, literature, film and popular culture, and the winners will be the team who need fewest helpful hints from the chairman in order to unravel the complex questions. The questions, as always, include a few of the best recent ideas submitted by listeners.

Tom will also reveal the answer to the question he left tantalisingly unanswered at the end of last week's programme.


Producer: Paul Bajoria.
