BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 1, 2015

Tom Sutcliffe returns with the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the cultural quiz. Scots Val McDermid and Roddy Lumsden take on the Welsh team of Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards.

(1/12)
Kurt's widow, Keir's party and Kate's adventures with her fellow survivors could lead you to the Court of Navarre - at least, they could if you have the same kind of mind as the panellists on Round Britain Quiz, which returns for a brand new series with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair.

As always, six teams from around the UK will play one another to decide the eventual series title, with some familiar voices as well as newcomers among the panel this season. The first programme features the Scots, Val McDermid and Roddy Lumsden, against the Welsh team of Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards. The Scots are defending their title, but Wales are always strong contenders and will be going all-out to wrest it from them this year.

As always they'll need to draw on all of their general knowledge and ingenuity to unravel RBQ's trademark cryptic questions. The series will feature a generous smattering of questions devised by listeners and sent in since the programme was last on air.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
