Kirsty Lang chairs the quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections

Wales and the North of England take part in the cryptic contest, with Kirsty Lang asking the questions.

(6/12)
Wales and the North of England square up in their first encounter of the season, with Kirsty Lang asking the questions. Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards play for Wales, opposite Adele Geras and Stuart Maconie of the North of England. As always they'll be trying to disentangle the programme's trademark cryptic questions with as little help as possible from the chair. Kirsty will be docking points according to how often she has to step in with a heavy hint or steer them away from a red herring. Both teams may have cause to fear the music round, in which they not only have to identify extracts but work out what they have to do with one another.

The programme includes a generous helping of questions supplied by Round Britain Quiz listeners.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
