BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 12, 2022

The challenging cryptic quiz between regions of the UK, with Kirsty Lang.

Kirsty Lang chairs the last match in the 2022 season of the cryptic quiz, with Northern Ireland taking on Scotland.

Northern Ireland and Scotland convene for the twelfth and last contest in the 2022 Round Britain Quiz season, and they face the additional hurdle that the questions in today's edition are all the work of listeners. How will they fare against the challenge posed by some of the most inventive minds around the UK and even overseas?

The Northern Irish team is Freya McClements and Paddy Duffy, opposite Val McDermid and Alan McCredie for Scotland. Both teams really need a win to avoid the 'wooden spoon' in the series this year. But don't underestimate their knowledge of music, film, sport, literature and the television classics of childhood - all of which will come in handy in today's contest.

The final league table will appear on the Round Britain Quiz homepage after the repeat of today's edition.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
