BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 4, 2017-18

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

Wales meet the Midlands in the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, chaired by Tom Sutcliffe.

(4/12)
In what endeavour might Piper's companion, a stupid boy and a modern maker of things electric contribute the right notes?

Tom Sutcliffe puts this and other impenetrable-sounding teasers to the teams from Wales and the Midlands, in the latest clash of Round Britain Quiz's 70th anniversary season. Wales, represented by Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards, are the defending RBQ champions and will be fighting to keep a clean sheet against the redoubtable Midlands pairing of Stephen Maddock and Rosalind Miles.

As always, the programme includes several of the best question ideas sent in by Round Britain Quiz listeners in recent months.

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.
