BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 1, 2021

The contest of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe.

Tom Sutcliffe returns with a new series of the cryptic quiz featuring teams from around the UK.

(1/12)
The longest running quiz show on British radio returns for a new season, with Tom Sutcliffe asking the trademark cryptic questions. This year all of the panellists are taking part from home because of pandemic restrictions. The first contest pits last year's series champions the South of England (Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann) against the North of England team (Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras) who were champions the previous year - so the competition is sure to be fierce.

As always, Tom will award and deduct points according to the fluency and ingenuity of the teams' answers to the complex questions. The programme includes several ideas suggested by listeners since the series was last on air. There'll be an unanswered question to ponder at the end of the programme, to which Tom will reveal the solution next time.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
