BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 28/07/2014

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

Scotland take on the South of England for the last time this year in the game of cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair.

(11/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair and the teams from Scotland and the South of England are in the spotlight, as the contest of cryptic connections reaches the penultimate match of the series.

Roddy Lumsden and Val McDermid play for Scotland, while Marcel Berlins and Fred Housego represent the South of England. Last time these teams encountered one another the Scots won convincingly, so the pressure is on the Southerners to turn the tables if they're to achieve a respectable finish on the RBQ league table for 2014.

As usual a knowledge of literature, history, music, geography, the natural world and popular culture will all be helpful to the teams in unravelling the programme's trademark convoluted puzzles. Some of the best are drawn from the mailbag of suggestions received from RBQ listeners in recent months.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
