BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 9, 2021

The contest of cryptic connections between teams from around the UK, with Tom Sutcliffe.

Tom Sutcliffe chairs the contest of lateral thinking and convoluted clues, this week involving the teams from Scotland and the Midlands.

(9/12)
Why might Henry VIII's sister, Cameron's best picture and the Roman province of Portugal all find themselves in a play by Terence Rattigan?

This and other cryptic puzzles are faced by the teams in the latest match of the series, with Tom Sutcliffe in the questionmaster's chair. Val McDermid and Alan McCredie play for Scotland, against Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Stephen Maddock for the Midlands. Last time these pairs met, it resulted in a victory for the Midlands: can Scotland overturn that result today?

As usual, there are also musical clues with a fiendish connection which the teams will have to identify. Several of the questions have been suggested by RBQ listeners, and there'll also be a teaser puzzle for you to think about between now and next week's edition.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
