BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 11, 2023

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

Scotland do battle with the South of England in the cryptic quiz, with Kirsty Lang in the chair

(11/12)
For the last time this season the teams from Scotland and the South of England tackle Kirsty Lang's cryptic questions, with both sides needing another win to shore up their position in the league table. Val McDermid and Alan McCredie play for Scotland, opposite Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha for the South of England. 

From World Cup songs to ballet scores and from Caribbean poetry to Ealing comedies, nothing is off limits in Round Britain Quiz questions, and no knowledge is wasted, however niche it might seem. Kirsty will be awarding and deducting points depending on how much help the teams need in reaching the solutions. 

The questions today also feature several ideas supplied by listeners hoping to fox the panel with their ingenuity.
