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

In the contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, Tom Sutcliffe is joined by panellists from the north of England and the Midlands.

Peter Mikhailov, the former member for Morley and Outwood, and Widnes's record try scorer all had a no.1 hit in 1958. What was it called?

Tom Sutcliffe invites the teams from the North of England (Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras) and the Midlands (Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock) to take on the challenge posed by this and many other cryptic questions in this second contest of the series. Both are making their first appearance of the season and will be keen to get a solid footing on the leader board to start with. As always, the programme includes a selection of the best question ideas suggested by listeners over the past twelve months - and a couple of fiendish music and audio montages with a devious connection which the teams have to unravel.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
