BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 6, 2021

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

Tom Sutcliffe welcomes the Midlands and South of England teams to the latest contest of the cryptic quiz series.

(6/12)
Leicester's chairman, Shakespeare's weaver and Richard Gough's village: are they in the right order?

The panellists in today's quiz will be trying to unravel this and many other impenetrable-seeming puzzles, as the South of England take on the Midlands in the sixth of this year's contests. Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann appear for the South of England, opposite Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Stephen Maddock on the Midlands team. Tom Sutcliffe asks the questions, and provides helpful hints as the panellists work towards their solutions. But the more hints and steers they need, the fewer points they'll win.

As always there are musical clues to identify and connect, and a sprinkling of questions devised by Round Britain Quiz listeners and submitted to the programme in recent months.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
