BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 5, 2021

The game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections, chaired by Tom Sutcliffe.

Tom Sutcliffe is joined by the teams from Scotland and Wales in the latest instalment of the long-running cryptic quiz.

(5/12)
The Welsh and the Scots do battle in the fifth contest of the 2021 season, with Val McDermid and Alan McCredie representing Scotland and Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards playing for Wales. Tom Sutcliffe is on hand to ask the programme's trademark cryptic questions, and to give the teams helpful hints and nudges wherever required - on the understanding that the more help they need, the fewer points they'll get.

Today's edition has again been recorded under lockdown conditions so the panellists are beaming in from home rather than gathering in a studio.

There's the usual helping of questions based on listeners' ideas, and Tom will also be providing the answer to the question he left unanswered at the end of the previous episode.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
