Available for over a year

Teams from all over the UK will face Kirsty Lang's cryptic questions across the series, with Kirsty offering support and the odd hint where it might be needed. The sixth match in the series is between Scotland and Northern Ireland. As always, they'll drop points every time they need a clue from the chair to steer them towards the right solution. You can follow the questions for this episode which will appear below on the day of the match. Teams: Scotland - Val McDermid and Alan McCredie Northern Ireland - Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements Host: Kirsty Lang Recorded by: Phil Booth Sound Design: Chris Maclean Production Coordinator: Caroline Barlow Producer: Carl Cooper A BBC Studios Production Questions set by Lucy Porter, Martin Mor and by you, the listeners! Questions in today's edition: Q1 (From Neil Jenkins) If you took a trip via an Italian lake resort, The Palatine Hill, modern day Thebes, a fictional Caribbean location, and a place of little precipitation, why might you lose your shirt in more than one way? Q2 (From Andrew Green) If you start at a port in NE Sardinia, find a suspect’s conditional release, then the Wuhan Institute for example, and, finally, an undergraduate’s aim. What valuable commodity did you lose along the way? Q3 Music: Which duo might need to combine all of these to create a certain song? (5 clips) Q4 (From Alan Hay) Numerically speaking, if you had Gerry from The Falls and Elsie from The Street, the Fawlty Towers builder and Brother Leonard, Lord Summerisle and Willow MacGregor, why might you be out of Luck? Q5 (From Alan Burnham) If 6 and 20 might be Strictly permitted, but too much 23 strictly forbidden if you are in charge of a 19, and an 11 of 3 would be of interest to the drugs squad, whose play is found in 18 and 10 ? Q6 Music: In this set of 3 tracks, two are looking backwards, but one is looking forwards. It’s a one way for two, and another for one. We want to know the common thread, and which one would a famous artist suggest you 'keep an eye out' for?" Q7 (From Ivan Whetton) If, nominally, Byron’s mathematical daughter has a fondness for decorative fabric, what similarly would be the passions of a fictional antiques dealer, a Trumpet-Major and his brother, and the proponent of the Gaia principle? Q8 (From Alan Burnham) Which group of nobles could transform a Scottish hat into an English river, anger into the Goddess of peace, an Egyptian god into a sea monster, an underground chamber into a Liverpool venue and ladies’ underwear into a Danish astronomer?
