BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 11, 2016-17

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

Tom Sutcliffe oversees another cryptic contest, with Wales and Northern Ireland appearing in their final clash of the season.

(11/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for the penultimate clash of the 2016-17 season, with David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander of Wales taking on Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland. If Wales take the victory today they will have won all four of their games in this series, and will be looking unstoppable in their bid to become RBQ champions. Northern Ireland will be going all out to prevent them - but it all depends how the questions fall.

The panel will need all their powers of recall and logic, as they struggle to connect apparently random elements from history, cinema, classic children's television, politics and natural history into some sort of pattern. The winners will be the pair who find the answers with the minimum need for clues and guidance from Tom.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
