BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 8, 2015

The contest of cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe.

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the cultural quiz as Jim Coulson and Adele Geras of the north of England team take on Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock of the Midlands.

(8/12)
The North of England take on The Midlands in the latest clash of cryptic clues and convoluted connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the questionmaster's chair. Jim Coulson and Adele Geras are the North of England team, playing opposite Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock of the Midlands. 

The Midlands will be on their mettle, having been narrowly beaten by Wales in their last appearance a couple of weeks ago, while the North will be looking for their first victory of the 2015 season.

Without wishing to give the teams too much of a leg up, it would help if they knew a little bit about Shakespeare, strange rural place names of England, vampire novels and the history of football in Manchester.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
