BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, The Final, 2016-17

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

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the last contest in the current series of the long-running lateral-thinking quiz, with the North of England taking on the Midlands.

(12/12)
The current Round Britain Quiz series comes to a close with the last clash between the North of England and the Midlands. Back in the autumn when these two teams last met, the North won. Can the Midlands claw back some honour today?

Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock are the regulars on the Midlands team, while Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras appear for the North of England. 

As usual they'll have to muster all of their arcane knowledge in such diverse fields as literature, geography, cinema, music and politics to make the right connections between the apparently random clues. Tom will be on hand to steer them away from the blind alleys: but the more help he has to give them, the fewer points they'll accumulate.

By the end of the contest the final rankings for the 2016-17 series will have been decided.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
