Kirsty Lang is in the chair for the cryptic quiz between regions of the UK

The Midlands and the North of England do battle in the cryptic quiz, with Kirsty Lang in the chair

(11/12)
The Midlands and the North of England both make their last appearances of the series in today's contest. Stephen Maddock and Frankie Fanko are the Midlands team, opposite Adele Geras and Stuart Maconie of the North. A win for either team would provide a significant boost to their position in this year's league table. 

Kirsty Lang is on hand as always, to provide helpful hints where needed, and sometimes a mere raised eyebrow, to steer them away from less promising blind alleys. It would be helpful today if they know something about Pixar movies, minor characters in Dickens, NASA telescopes, 17th century pirates and English lute music.

The programme includes the usual scattering of questions devised by listeners hoping to wrong-foot the panel.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
