BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 7, 2017-18

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

The cryptic quiz features Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha of the South of England against Val McDermid and Alan McCredie of Scotland. Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair.

(7/12)
In a special programme recorded at last summer's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the South of England take on Scotland, with both teams hoping to score a victory this time after a draw the last time they met. Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha play for the South of England while the Scots are Val McDermid and Alan McCredie.

Tom Sutcliffe asks the cryptic and complex questions, which include: Why might Private Atkins, the Marble Man and Clive Dunn find themselves working with Agent J? The more help the teams need from Tom in unravelling the solutions, the fewer points they'll get.

Tom will also have the answer to the teaser puzzle he set before Christmas.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
