BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 3, 2022

Radio's most fiendish quiz, with Kirsty Lang asking the cryptic questions.

Kirsty Lang chairs the notoriously difficult quiz challenge, this week featuring the North of England against the South of England.

(3/12)
If, one night, you encountered Caxton's successor, the current US Secretary of State and Neville John Holder, what might they be about to sail off in? Only in the Round Britain Quiz universe is this a reasonable question to ask anyone, and the regular teams from the North of England and the South of England will be doing their best to answer it coherently.

Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras are the North of England team, and they face Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann for the South of England, who opened their scorecard impressively last week. But both teams are recent champions in this quiz and both will be on their mettle.

The programme also includes another selection of the best question suggestions sent in by listeners in recent months.

Producer: Paul Bajoria

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
