(4/12)
Northern Ireland take on Scotland in the contest of cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair to ensure fair play. Val McDermid and Roddy Lumsden of Scotland are defending their Round Britain Quiz champions' title. The challengers from Northern Ireland are long-standing regulars Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney.

The programme's trademark questions will require both sides to delve into the most arcane depths of their knowledge, spanning words coined by famous authors, culinary recipes, British rock albums and curious historical mishaps. If that's whetted your appetite, jojn Tom and the teams for the fourth contest of the 2015 series, when Tom will also be revealing the answer to the teaser question left hanging at the end of the last programme.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
