(5/12)

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 fifth contest features Northern Ireland and the North of England.

Teams:
Paddy Duffy and Freya McClements - Northern Ireland
Stuart Maconie and Jenny Ryan - The North of England

Questions in today's edition:

Q1 What’s served up when Edwards, Cronenberg, Kramer, and Zeffirelli all share a menu? And why would Berlin round off the day.

Q2 (from Phil Ware) Why would a 14th Century ocean-going sailing ship be relevant to an Ace musician lamenting the duration of an affair, a tempting crush, and a Mechanic singing about filial regret?

Q3 (from Tanja Timmer) Music: What’s the common motivation behind all of these songs, and who is the odd one out?

Q4 The form of this question is quite unusual, but deliberate. And it’s a place we’re asking you to identify. So where would you recite this ditty?

A Rambler who's losing her mane,
Used a bung to keep fresh her champagne,
Her Kitten did croon,
‘It’s a long way’ to this tune,
And her Crystal flute sang Herman’s name.

Q5 (from Mark Wolton) How does Logan's run lead us to this sequence…
The world’s highest-paid model
The second biggest fighter in UFC history (according to Floyd Mayweather)
The third God of the Hindu triad
The fourth child of Al Pacino?

Q6 Music: Listen to these four songs and tell me what links them in a constructive way?

Q7 Your mission, is to decrypt this musical cypher. Intel suggests this sequence reveals the location of two stolen nuclear missiles. Failure is not an option.

Extract half of a Turkish hit covered by Holly Valance, and half a Chris Brown song featuring T-Pain.
Mix with half a 1966 Cher classic, and half of a Jessie J / Ariana Grande / Nicki Minaj collaboration.
Then combine to form a song that was not sung by Dionne Warwick or Shirley Bassey because it didn’t have the right title
Instead, it was replaced by a new song performed by Tom Jones, who famously fainted after holding the final note.

What’s the final song title, and what does it have to do with nuclear weapons?

Q8 Follow the clues and find the hidden word that will lead you to a star sign
A march for hunger and justice sets your course.
Your journey leads to a prestigious seat of learning.
A submarine town lies ahead, its depths hiding more than just secrets.
Songs of the Canaries fill the air at a famous stadium.
An actress playing Rosemary with a telling name points to your desires.
What’s your sign?
