Round Britain Quiz marks the start of its 70th anniversary series with a special programme recorded at this year's Edinburgh Fringe - also celebrating its 70th birthday in 2017. Tom Sutcliffe chairs the opening contest between the South of England and Scotland, pitting Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha against Val McDermid and Alan McCredie. Before an enthusiastic Fringe audience they face the programme's trademark cryptic questions, with Tom deducting points along the way depending on how many clues and nudges he is called on to provide.

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.
