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

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair as the North of England play Scotland for the last time this season, in the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

(11/12)
It's the last appearance of the current series for both the North of England (represented by Adele Geras and Stuart Maconie) and Scotland (Val McDermid and Alan McCredie). Scotland need to win today to equal the North's tally of victories this season, but they're virtually neck and neck on points going into today's clash.

As always, Tom Sutcliffe's apparently impenetrable questions require recall of a diverse range of topics, this week encompassing children's literature, ancient history, 21st century cinema, Olympic sport, scientific units of measurement and the albums of Led Zeppelin. There'll be the usual smattering of questions suggested by listeners, selected from the many hundreds we've received in the past few months. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
