Tom Sutcliffe chairs the latest contest of the cryptic quiz, featuring the teams from the north of England and Scotland.

(6/12)
Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for another cerebral work-out, this week featuring the regulars from the North of England and Scotland. Scientist Jim Coulson and children's author Adele Geras play for the North of England, while the Scots are the critic and translator Michael Alexander and journalist Alan Taylor.

They'll need all their powers of recall and lateral thinking when tackling questions such as:

'Why would Arthur Stanley Jefferson, the first Quebecois Prime Minister of Canada, and a canyon in California, have been out of place at the Olympics?'

As always, the programme features two questions devised by listeners - and all of the questions are laid out on the Round Britain Quiz pages of the 麻豆社 Radio 4 website, if you'd like to play along with the teams.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
