Programme 7, 2024
Kirsty Lang chairs the cryptic contest, this week featuring the South of England against Wales.
(7/12)
Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann of the South of England return to see if they can take revenge on Cariad Lloyd and Myfanwy Alexander of Wales, who narrowly beat them last time they met. Kirsty Lang has the trademark cryptic questions, and will be awarding and deducting points depending on how many blind alleys she has to steer the teams away from, in arriving at their answers.
Questions in today's edition:
Q1 What connects a rapper with a side hustle in interior design, another rapper who might be introvert, and the British 'wild man of rock 'n roll' from the late 50s?
Q2 (from Simon Meara) Whenever I walk in a London street, why should I be wary of one wearing glasses, one of the Deadly Sins, an Italian car and a Phoenix sportsman?
Q3 Music: Which is the odd one out?
Q4 (from Patrick Haigh) Through which entrance might all of these have passed, though not all at the same time? One blasted as setting the scene for a 'prophetic greeting'; one who might carry a twister and a legget; one named three times as a joke and a fourth by promotion; one before whose appearance one shouldn't discard warm clothing; and one giving surgical support?
Q5 Why can you now find weapons on Gillespie Road, a pan-Hellenic sanctuary on Addison road, a cathedral in the Post Office and monks in that same cathedral?
Q6 Music: Which Beatles song might we have played as part of this sequence?
Q7 Why might David Lloyd, Ursula Andress and Phillip Vandamm all feel at home in the GTech Community Stadium?
Q8 A Welsh fly-half is to John James Preston as Weather Report's saxophonist is to the former member for Ladywood. How so?

Last week's teaser question
The answer is to be found in the famous Canal Ring in Amsterdam, where the canals are arranged concentrically. Moving outward, in order, you will find the Herrengracht, the Keizersgracht and the Prinzengracht.Β
Well done if you spotted that answer, and Kirsty will have another teaser at the end of this week's quiz.
This week's teaser question
No need to write to us with the answer, but you can compare your solution with ours when Kirsty reveals it at the beginning of the next edition.
