The game of cultural knowledge and cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe

The Midlands take on Scotland in the contest of cryptic connections, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair,.

(3/12)
The two teams who have not so far appeared in the 2021 series make their debuts today, with Tom Sutcliffe asking the trademark cryptic questions and scoring generously or harshly, depending on how quickly the teams arrive at the answers. Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Stephen Maddock play for the Midlands, opposite Val McDermid and Alan McCredie of Scotland. 

As always the questions will test their recall of sometimes-obscure trivia and their powers of lateral thinking, as they work out the connections between seemingly unrelated elements. Some of the questions have been suggested by Round Britain Quiz listeners, and there are always unpredictable music and sound clues for the panel to identify and connect.

Tom will also be providing the answer to last week's teaser question which was unanswered at the end of the previous edition.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
