Programme 6, 2024
Kirsty Lang is in the chair for the game of cryptic connections, this week between the teams from Scotland and the North of England.
(6/12)
Kirsty Lang welcomes back the Scots and the North of England to the Round Britain Quiz drawing room. Both teams are looking for their first win of the 2024 series. Val McDermid and Alan McCredie play for Scotland, against Stuart Maconie and Adele Geras of the North of England.
Today's questions are:
Q1 (from James Bingham) Where might you find the lover of Mikhail's writer hero, the catch-phrase 'Book 'em Danno', a suite of violin concerti and Jagger's man of wealth and taste?
Q2 (from Jeff Flatters) What's the double connection between a Caribbean watering-hole, a group of Celtic cross-dressers and some custard?
Q3 Music: Where might you find these in close proximity?
Q4 (from Jonathan Allum) What's the connection between a 1968 novel by Agatha Christie, a 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury, a 1973 novel by Alastair Maclean and a 2022 novel by Gabrielle Zevin, and why might you have to be careful when explaining it?
Q5 Explain why Isherwood's Cabaret heroine, a Glasgow rock band who celebrated Miss America, and a Gungan General (twice), might help you with dinner?
Q6 (from Ivan Whetton) Music: Who are these people, and why might Potter's Marlowe complete a quartet?
Q7 (from Dave Ruddiman) Why would gravity work against an unauthorised habitation, Caribbean spicing, a contaminant-free facility and a Guy Ritchie thriller?
Q8 (from Charles Gilman) Where do the namesakes of Billy Bunter, Peter Chapman and Harry Angstrom meet, and how did Jane Smiley cover ten times their territory?
Producer: Paul Bajoria
