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

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the cultural quiz. Simon Singh and Marcus Berkmann of the south of England take on Adele Geras and Jim Coulson of the north.

(5/12)
What would Fred Hoyle think of a writer of pulp Westerns, a penal reformer, a Restoration Archbishop of Canterbury, and British India?

Simon Singh and Marcus Berkmann of the South of England take on Adele Geras and Jim Coulson of the North of England, in this week's contest of cryptic connections. They'll have to unravel this and plenty of other puzzles, including several RBQ listeners' suggestions. Tom Sutcliffe is on hand to ensure fair play and to provide gentle hints wherever necessary, though he'll also be deducting points for every clue he has to give them.

The questions are available to view on the programme's webpage each week, from the beginning of the broadcast. Tom will also be giving the answer to the teaser question he left unanswered at the end of the previous edition - and setting another for this week.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
