Tom Sutcliffe chairs the cultural quiz. Marcel Berlins and Fred Housego of the South of England compete against Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland.
(1/12)
The evergreen cryptic quiz returns to the airwaves, with Tom Sutcliffe in the chair. This week the game of lateral thinking and cryptic connections pits Marcel Berlins and Fred Housego of the South of England against Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland.
They have just a few minutes to unravel each of the programme's trademark questions, which combine snippets of knowledge from unlikely fields, ranging from science and the natural world to popular culture and literature. They get six points if they can solve the question unaided, and points are taken away depending on how much help the chairman has to give to nudge them towards the solution.
In future programmes, the defending champions Wales (Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards) will be back to discover whether they can hold off strong challenges from the other regional teams. The North of England, Scotland and the Midlands also all take part in the coming weeks.
You can send us your own question ideas for the programme, and Tom will be giving the details of how you can do so - which are also on the programme's webpages.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
