BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 21/07/2014

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

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the latest contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, between the panellists from the North of England and Scotland.

(10/12)
In what way might a Dickensian cricket match have provided inspiration for Lindisfarne and J.K.Rowling? 

Tom Sutcliffe asks the panellists to ponder this, and plenty of other cryptic puzzles, in the latest contest between the North of England and Scotland. Diana Collecott and Adele Geras of the North will be hoping to repeat the defeat they inflicted last time they encountered the Scots, Val McDermid and Roddy Lumsden. Knowledge of music, literature, mythology and popular culture will all be handy in tackling today's batch of convoluted questions.

As always, some of the questions have been drawn from the stack of brilliant ideas provided by RBQ listeners in recent months. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
