BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 5, 2023

The quiz of cryptic connections, chaired by Kirsty Lang

The South of England and Scotland go into battle in the cryptic contest, with Kirsty Lang in the chair.

(5/12)
Kirsty Lang asks the questions, as Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha of the South of England take on Val McDermid and Alan McCredie of Scotland. Can the South of England, the defending champions, keep a clean sheet in their second appearance of the series? 

They'll need all their powers of concentration and lateral thinking as they grope for the connections between female goalkeepers and Dante's Inferno, a former political party leader and the Bash Street Kids, and Captain Ahab and the Ronettes. The programme includes the usual generous scattering of questions suggested by Round Britain Quiz listeners. 

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.
