BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, 04/08/2014

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the last in the 2014 series of the game of cryptic connections.

The 2014 series of the cryptic contest reaches its climax, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair.

(12/12)
If you sprinkled some sweetness onto a Cambridge tutor, a computer network and a little bit, to which places would it take you? 

The final match of the 2014 series pits Northern Ireland against Wales, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair. Today's result is crucial to the final Round Britain Quiz rankings for this year, with Northern Ireland set to be the overall series winners if they win today.

Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney play for Northern Ireland, opposite Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards for Wales. They'll need all the arcane and apparently-unconnected snippets of knowledge they can muster, in order to make any sense of the cryptic questions. You can play along by looking at the questions on the Round Britain Quiz pages of the Radio 4 website. 

This week's final match, by Round Britain Quiz tradition, is made up entirely of questions suggested by listeners in recent months.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
