BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 2, 2015

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

Teams from the Midlands and the north of England join Tom Sutcliffe for the contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

(2/12)
Why might an alien visiting earth find themselves faced with a Bellowing biographer, the Spartan victim of a swan, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau?

The only place on Radio 4 where a question like this makes any kind of sense is Round Britain Quiz, and the teams will be unravelling it, with Tom Sutcliffe's help, in this week's second clash of the series. The Midlands team of Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock face the North of England pairing of Jim Coulson and Adele Geras. 

As usual, the programme includes a number of ingenious question ideas suggested by Round Britain Quiz listeners.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
