Kirsty Lang chairs the quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections

Kirsty Lang chairs a contest between Scotland and the North of England in the latest heat of the cryptic quiz.

(8/12)
Kirsty Lang is in the chair as Val McDermid and Alan McCredie of Scotland take on Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras of the North of England. Scotland will be going all-out to reverse the defeat they suffered at the hands of the North earlier in the series.

Their general knowledge might stand them in good stead when it comes to the origins of band names, the titles of Spaghetti westerns or rugby internationals - but Wimbledon stars of the 1950s, opera singers and 80s dance hits might prove more of a sticking point.

As always, there's a generous helping of questions taken from the many hundreds of suggestions received from Round Britain Quiz listeners.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
