BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 5, 2017-18

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

Scotland take on the North of England in the regional cryptic challenge, with Tom Sutcliffe asking the questions.

(5/12)
Why does finding the connection between DeMille's epic, an Agatha Christie whodunit, a re-telling of The Taming of the Shrew. and the framing of Timothy Evans, lie in your own hands?

It can only be Round Britain Quiz asking this type of question - and Tom Sutcliffe will be putting it to the regular teams from Scotland and the North of England in this week's contest, recorded in the Scottish Borders. Val McDermid and Alan McCredie play for Scotland, opposite Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras of the North of England. Both teams are looking for their first outright win of this year's tournament. 

The programme includes some more of the best listeners' question ideas sent to us in recent months, and Tom will be revealing the solution to the teaser question he left unanswered at the end of the previous programme.

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.
