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.

This fourth contest features Scotland and The South of England.

Teams:

Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann - The South of England
Val McDermid and Alan McCredie - Scotland

Questions in today's edition:

Q1 If a former Makar, The Body, and Clara Blandick from Kansas were to take a holiday, which airline might they fly with? And where will they land when they return home?

Q2 Can you unscramble these clues to find the works of someone who is honoured in The Television Academy Hall of Fame. And why wouldn’t he be happy with the way we’ve laid them out.
We have
‘The Lot above’
‘Trashy Tchs & UK’
‘Achilles angers’
‘Andy sty’
And ‘Overly Bill’s Heiress, 01209’

Q3 Music: If you were sharing this playlist, which emoji would you sign off with?

Q4 Despite their differences, why might a megalomaniacal Kryptonian, a Kaleesh cyborg, a chimpanzee full of Roth, the chief of Ef-rafa and the dictator of San Theodoros, all have a shared understanding?

Q5 (from Ivan Whetton) If their respective origins are: a Russian city from a Welsh writer's novel, a famous beach in a bossa nova song, the university city of Wyoming in a 50s western (and song), a juice brand in a commercial, and a father's brother initially on TV – who is the odd one out?

Q6 Music: Have a think about what might connect them with Synsepalum dulcificum.

Q7 (from Maya Davies) What we are looking for in this little rhyme…
Barrow’s and Fleming’s shine golden and bright,
Jekyll, Jessop, and Jill count five in their sight.
De Waal’s glow amber, Hardy’s are blue,
But what of Coppélia’s? What shade holds true?

Q8 Why would Viggo Mortensen, William Shatner, Milla Jovovich, Malcolm McDowell, and Jodie Foster, all be speaking in tongues? And which one would be most widely understood?
