Tom Sutcliffe chairs the ever-popular contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair as the teams from the Midlands and Wales compete in the game of cryptic connections.

(10/12)
It's the final appearance of the series for Stephen Maddock and Rosalind Miles of the Midlands, and they badly need a win against the Welsh pairing of David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander to keep themselves from slipping to the bottom of the Round Britain Quiz league table this year. 

Tom Sutcliffe asks the programme's trademark convoluted questions, and provides them with helpful discouragement from venturing down too many blind alleys as they attempt to unravel the answers. But the more help he gives them, the fewer points they'll get. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
