Programme 1, 2023
The longest running radio quiz series of all time returns for a new series, with Kirsty Lang asking the cryptic questions.
(1/12)
Kirsty Lang is in the chair for a new season of the cult cryptic quiz, with defending champions the South of England taking on the Midlands in the opening contest.
The South of England is represented by Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha, while playing opposite them are Frankie Fanko and Stephen Maddock for the Midlands. Both sides have been multiple series winners in the recent past, so all the panellists are sure to be on their mettle.
As always there are six points for a perfectly-answered question, with Kirsty deducting points the more hints and nudges she has to provide along the way towards the solution. How many clear sixes will be scored today?
Producer: Paul Bajoria
