BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 1, 2022

Kirsty Lang is in the chair as the notorious quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections returns.

(1/12)
How have a Taiwanese violinist, a Spanish waiter and Prospero's daughter joined forces to popularise the largest city in Waikato? With this, the new season of the long-running cryptic quiz begins, celebrating no less than 75 years as a regular fixture on BBC Radio. The opening contest is between the teams from The Midlands and Wales. Kirsty Lang is in the chair and will be awarding and deducting points according to how much help the teams need with the programme's famously difficult questions.

Taking part are Stephen Maddock and Frankie Fanko for The Midlands, opposite Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards for Wales. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria
