(10/12) 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 tenth contest features the second meeting of The South of England vs Scotland. You can follow the questions in each edition on the Round Britain Quiz webpages. Each week's questions will be posted on the day before the Sunday transmission. Teams: Paul Sinha and Marcus Berkmann - The South of England Alan McCredie and Val McDermid - Scotland Questions in today's edition: Q1 (from Paul Tavatgis) A negotiator at Brest-Litovsk, one of the world's greatest forgers, a Roman fiddler, an Iberian squire, and a pioneer of free speech in comedy, all share a mention in a musical obituary. Who are they and who immortalised them to music Q2 (from Patrick Haigh) Why should our listeners be careful not to confuse… A Scottish racecourse A director of the National Theatre A circuit travelled by an itinerant mediaeval judge A Yorkshire river A song-like composition Q3 (from Phil Ware) Music: The question you have to ponder is: What would Henry Croft do with them? Q4 (from Peter Geddes) Initially, why would - Prince’s backing group, a unit of fuel efficiency, Dungeons and Dragons, a common image file, and something that tells you what you’re watching on the telly - all be grateful for a cup of tea? Q5 (from Andy Pearson) It’s not a recipe although you do… Start with a standard egg. Take it to Nottingham and meet Agamemnon and Menelaus outside a Council House. Next, sing a song that first became a hit in 1996 and finally came true in 2022. Then watch a dark British comedy film about terrorism. How many of what should you be looking for next? Q6 Music: Listen to these clips and see if you can work out why these would remind us of a poem by Walter de la Mare?

Q8 If this emblem of unity contains envy, grief, purity, wealth, passion and calm, over which transformed land does it flutter? And if you add two more, how might this bring you into the Crucible?
