BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 12, 2023

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

The last cryptic contest of the current series pits Wales against the North of England, with Kirsty Lang in the chair.

(12/12)
The 2023 season comes to a close with Wales playing the North of England, who beat them last time they met. Another win today would give Adele Geras and Stuart Maconie of the North a real chance of taking the series title. Can the Welsh, Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards, stop them?

Kirsty Lang will be awarding and deducting points according to how much help she has to give the panel in unravelling the cryptic questions. This week's questions encompass everything from Plantagenet history to famous FA Cup Finals and progressive rock bands - and by Round Britain Quiz tradition, for this final edition of the series, they've all been suggested by listeners.  

Whatever happens, today's contest will determine which team takes the title of Round Britain Quiz champions for 2023. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria
