BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 9, 2019

Radio's most fiendish quiz, with Tom Sutcliffe asking the cryptic questions.

Tom Sutcllffe puts questions to the teams from the South of England and the Midlands in the notoriously difficult cryptic quiz.

(9/12)
If you can explain why Martin Amis's first protagonist might be bigger than both Jim Cartwright's first play and the performer once known as Clementine Campbell, you could steal a march on today's participants in radio's most notorious quiz.

Tom Sutcliffe welcomes back the teams from the Midlands and the South of England. It's Stephen Maddock and Elizabeth-Jane Burnett against Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann. The last time these pairs met, the Midlands scored a narrow victory, so the South will be going all out for revenge today. As usual they'll not only have to work out what the clues refer to, but how they fit together - and the more hints they need from the chairman the fewer points they'll get for their efforts.

Tom will also reveal the solution to the teaser question he left dangling at the end of the previous edition. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria
