Round Britain Quiz

Round Britain Quiz is a BBC radio panel game first broadcast on November 2, 1947, making it the oldest quiz programme still airing on British radio. Adapted from the earlier Transatlantic Quiz format, the programme pits regional teams from around the United Kingdom against each other on cryptic, multi-part questions that typically weave together wordplay, music and listener-submitted puzzles, with points awarded at the host's discretion and reduced whenever a team requests additional clues. Originally built around a resident London team facing regional challengers, the show was restructured in 1997 into a six-team tournament format and continues to broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
