BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 10, 2023

Kirsty Lang chairs the quiz of lateral thinking and cryptic connections.

Kirsty Lang chairs the cult quiz of lateral thinking and arcane knowledge, with the regular pairs from Northern Ireland and the Midlands competing this week.

(10/12)
Fresh from their victory over Wales last week, Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements of Northern Ireland return for their final fixture of the 2023 season, against Frankie Fanko and Stephen Maddock of The Midlands. Kirsty Lang's cryptic questions will test their knowledge of everything from Dordogne villages and Elvis Costello albums to  quotations in classical music and nicknames for drugs.

As always, the more clues Kirsty has to give the teams, the more their scores will suffer. How close can either team come to a perfect 24?

Producer: Paul Bajoria
