BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 6, 2022

Kirsty Lang hosts the notoriously tricky cryptic quiz, with Scotland taking on Northern Ireland for the first time this series.

(6/12)
Kirsty Lang welcomes the pairs from Scotland and Northern Ireland to the Round Britain Quiz library this week. Val McDermid and Alan McCredie take on Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements, both teams still looking for their first win of the 2022 season.

It will help them if their memory banks contain details of soap operas, Victorian literature, 80s pop songs and landmarks in Prague - but they still face the task of making the necessary connections to arrive at the full answers. Kirsty provides prompts along the way, but deducts points according to how much help she has to give. 

The programme includes questions based on ideas sent in my RBQ listeners in recent months. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria
