Kirsty Lang chairs the quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections

Kirsty Lang is in the chair as Northern Ireland play Wales in the cryptic quiz.

(9/12)
The last time Northern Ireland took on Wales in an earlier contest this series, Northern Ireland were victorious - so Wales have the chance to turn the tables today. Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements play for Northern Ireland and Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards for Wales.

As always, Kirsty Lang asks the questions and provides hints and steers where necessary, as the panel grope their way towards the complex answers. Points are deducted each time they need a hefty clue or even an invisible raised eyebrow to get them back on course.

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.
