BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 12, 2017-18

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

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair as the current season of the lateral thinking quiz reaches its climax, with Wales taking on Northern Ireland.

(12/12)
Tom Sutcliffe chairs the last contest of this year's Round Britain Quiz tournament, with Northern Ireland (Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements) taking on Wales (Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards). Can the Welsh make it a clean sweep again this year by winning all four of their fixtures across the series?

All of the questions in this final programme have been selected from listeners' suggestions, and there are some highly devious ones among them - including 'Why would rays of sunlight follow the state of Minnesota, a lookout position, a machine-readable label and Mother Teresa as of 2016?'

Tom will also be revealing the answer to the teaser puzzle left unanswered at the end of the previous contest.

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.
