BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 12, 2019

The last contest in the 2019 series of the fiendish cryptic quiz, with Tom Sutcliffe.

Today's edition of the cryptic quiz consists entirely of questions from listeners hoping to outwit the teams. Tom Sutcliffe is in the questionmaster's chair.

(12/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair as Northern Ireland take on the South of England in the final clash of the 2019 series. As usual they'll be required to dredge their memory banks for forgotten details of geography, politics, sport, high and low culture, in answering the cryptic questions. This week all of the questions in the show are devised by Round Britain Quiz listeners, and they include such convoluted gems as:

Which energetic prankster drummer, former UN diplomat and Mighty comic character might fear drowning in a dystopian author's favourite watering-hole?

Only after today's result will Tom be able to announce who has won the greatest number of victories in the 2019 series, and thus earned the title of Round Britain Quiz champions.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
