Round Britain Quiz 2 January 2017

'Why might Richard Wilson be incredulous at a motorbike, a boys' comic, Dr Frankenstein and the Radio Corporation of America?' This, and other even more impenetrable puzzles, are among Tom Sutcliffe's challenges for the teams in this tenth contest of the current series. It's the last chance for Scotland and the South of England to add to their final tally of victories this season. Last time these two teams met it was a victory for the Scots - can Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha of the South turn the tables on Val McDermid and Alan McCredie this time? As usual, the programme includes several questions suggested by RBQ listeners hoping their ingenious ideas will wrong-foot the panellists. Tom will also have the answer to the question he set for listeners at the end of last week's edition. QUESTIONS IN THIS PROGRAMME: 1. Why might Richard Wilson be incredulous at a motorbike, a boys' comic, Dr Frankenstein and the Radio Corporation of America? 2. (from James Heafield)  Why ought you to ask permission from Mum and Dad before taking tea with primates, sending an e-mail to an Oceanic domain, or reading the works of Plum? 3. Music: What can you read into this sequence, and in what languages would you originally find them? 4. (from John Villiers)  Why might you expect to find a Jumbly girl's admirer, the writer of 'Living Doll' and 'From Russia With Love', and a short sleep, in a vault in the Lion City? 5. In what kind of landscape might you encounter a veteran Spectator cartoonist, one who was sculpted in solid gold, and the inventor of a reliable test for arsenic? 6. Music: Why would these be unlikely to involve A and E? 7. Why might there be total chaos if Henry VIII's wives went on a tour of the hills of Rome; the founder of Eton College danced to Richard Strauss's Salome; and a group of French composers recited blessings at a Jewish wedding? 8. (from Peter Stockdale)  What is the symbolic connection, in a literary sense, between the following: A fishing line sinker and a skylark; An atomic clock and a river adventure in Africa; The gods' winged messenger and the invasion of the earth; A noble gas and the Larkin family? LAST WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION WAS: Tom gave you the sequence: Folkestone & Hythe, Witney in Oxfordshire, Doncaster North, Camberwell & Peckham - and asked what comes next? THIS WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION: 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, now encircle their lover?
