Round Britain Quiz 9 January 2017

Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair for the penultimate clash of the 2016-17 season, with David Edwards and Myfanwy Alexander of Wales taking on Polly Devlin and Brian Feeney of Northern Ireland. If Wales take the victory today they will have won all four of their games in this series, and will be looking unstoppable in their bid to become RBQ champions. Northern Ireland will be going all out to prevent them - but it all depends how the questions fall. The panel will need all their powers of recall and logic, as they struggle to connect apparently random elements from history, cinema, classic children's television, politics and natural history into some sort of pattern. The winners will be the pair who find the answers with the minimum need for clues and guidance from Tom. QUESTIONS IN THIS PROGRAMME: 1. (from Huw Jones)  What, in the UK, links a Southern belle, part of a fantasy game, a fish-hawk and a melancholy musical genre?   2. Which Roman Emperor connects Tamora's vengeful enemy, the son of Sepulchrave and the Popish plot?   3. Music - Explain the connection?   4. What cause should the author of Trouble At Willow Gables and Michaelmas Term At St Bride's have to dislike Danger Mouse's arch-enemy, one whose life was changed by a 'Poop-poop!' and Mr Jackson?   5. (from Peter Effer)  In what way do Margo Leadbetter, the final resting place of the Royal Yacht Britannia, the site of Newgrange, and Peter Hain's old constituency, sound like a progression?   6. Music - How could this music, a Danny Kaye ventriloquist comedy, a hill in County Mayo, and Jules Romains' rural doctor, lead you to the US Bullion Depository?   7. (from Sam Bright)  What do Yossarian's Major, the cricketing father of footballers Phil and Gary, and the man serving a life sentence for the murder of Bobby Kennedy, have in common with a buzzard, a fox and a badger?   8. Explain how retrospective fury, a song and dance man, the Diet of Worms and a lustful 18th century adventurer could lead you to a better class of person? LAST WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION WAS: In what sense do a beautiful cup-bearer, the mother of King Minos of Crete, a priestess transformed into a cow, and a nymph transformed into a bear, all now encircle their lover? THIS WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION: Where would you find the following in control: an error indicator in Microsoft Excel, a Sherlock Holmes story, diphenolchloroarsine and a double word score?
