How could you twist Prince Harry's recollections so that they appear to involve fruit of the genus Pyrus, an assegai and a goalkeeper with real personality?

Only in an episode of Round Britain Quiz are you likely to hear a question like this: and sure enough the panel will have to deal with it, and plenty of others like it, in today's programme. Kirsty Lang is in the chair as the North of England team of Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras face the Midlands team, Frankie Fanko and Stephen Maddock.

Today's questions:

Q1 How could you twist Prince Harry's recollections so that they appear to involve fruit of the genus Pyrus, an assegai and a goalkeeper with real Personality?

Q2 (from John Moran) If you add nothing to Oscar, Judy Garland, an acclaimed disco band and a stringed instrument, to what would you need to add nothing to complete the quintet?

Q3 Music: What have these pieces got to do with the number 617?

Q4 (from Charles Gilman) Why, if they scored three goals each, might it help James the crime-writer to deal with childhood, Lewis the comedian to deal with old age, and Norman the film critic to deal with obesity?

Q5 Why might Clint Eastwood talk to a Senegalese band who were specialists in all styles, a Paul Thomas Anderson film with a quiz show backdrop, and a borough where midwives are regularly called?

Q6 Music: Can you rank these from lowest to highest?

Q7 (from Karl Sabbagh) Allowing for spelling variations, why might an area of the Low Countries and a large bird; an insect and part of a ship; a northern town and another name for sage; and a cooking method and a form of transport, all keep you amused?

Q8 Beginning with a Greek singer turned MEP, progress down a Northampton river with an Italian jazz trumpeter and an avant-garde Italian composer - and explain how you'd finally team up with a powerful gaming character in the League of Legends?
