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

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the fiendish quiz of cryptic connections. Freya McClements and Paddy Duffy for Northern Ireland face the South of England's Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha.

(3/12)
How might a learning experience for military personnel leave you with the leftovers, and why are they the same only different?

For the third contest of Round Britain Quiz's 70th anniversary season, Northern Ireland take on the South of England. Making their debut for Northern Ireland are the new partnership of the journalist Freya McClements and the writer and film-maker Paddy Duffy. They face the formidable South of England pairing of the writer Marcus Berkmann and the comedian Paul Sinha.

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair to provide the occasional helpful nudge and to steer the panel out of some of their more fanciful blind alleys, as they wrestle to unpack the cryptic questions in the limited time available. As always, the programme includes several questions suggested by RBQ listeners.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
