The quiz of cryptic connections, chaired by Kirsty Lang

Kirsty Lang is in the chair for more cryptic conundrums, with teams from the Midlands and Northern Ireland.

(4/12)
Why might going on location help you move towards an order of chivalry, a reward for extreme sycophancy and a public body that caused a fuss for Truss?

A question like this can surely only belong on Round Britain Quiz, and host Kirsty Lang will be hoping the panellists from the Midlands and Northern Ireland can tackle it with their usual flair. Frankie Fanko and Stephen Maddock are the regular Midlands team, looking for their first win of the series, while Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements of Northern Ireland will aim to notch up another victory after they beat Wales last week.

As usual, several of the questions have been suggested by Round Britain Quiz listeners, and Kirsty will also be supplying the solution to the teaser she left unanswered at the end of the previous show. 

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.
