Tom Sutcliffe chairs radio's most fiendish quiz

The quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe. Today's contest is between the South of England and Northern Ireland.

(9/12)
Tom Sutcliffe chairs the re-match between the South of England and Northern Ireland, who finished neck and neck last time they met. Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann are the South of England pairing, opposite Freya McClements and Paddy Duffy for Northern Ireland.

They'll need their wits about them as Tom's cryptic questions require them to make connections involving medieval chroniclers, early Hollywood comedies, Formula One drivers, children's literature and folk songs. The questions include a number of the most intriguing ideas sent in by Round Britain Quiz listeners in recent months.

Tom also reveals the solution to the puzzle he left unanswered for listeners to ponder at the end of last week's quiz.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
