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. First up are the pairs from Wales and the South of England.

Comedian, actor and writer Cariad Lloyd makes her Round Britain Quiz debut this season, alongside writer Myfanwy Alexander on the Welsh team. They face Marcus Berkmann and Paul Sinha who are the regulars for the South of England. The rivalry promises to be fierce.

As always, they'll drop points every time they need a clue from the chair to steer them towards the right solution.

Questions in today's edition:

Q1 Why might a red precious stone, the father of Henry IV, the Iraqi capital and an optimistic flower be keeping it all in the family?

Q2 (from Richard Saunders) How might four stations on the District Line, a Swedish university city, and a dual winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, all lead you in the same direction as Carl Fredericksen?

Q3 Music: Who might be scared of these?

Q4 (from Ivan Whetton) The Nubian and Libyan deserts; Kenroku-en, Koraku-en and Kairaku-en; the Danum Valley in Malaysia; quays in a notorious area of Cardiff; en route to where flying fishes play; and Mumbai in former times. Who might have taken a beating in these locations?

Q5 (from Mickie Wynne Davies) Where could you find in close proximity: a female Womble, the aft portion of a tea clipper, an epistolary novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Burrow; and a hit musical with a tenuous link to Vivaldi?

Q6 (from Mick Lee) Music: What links these songs?

Q7 (from Michael Hipkins) On which table might you find Napoleon's 1800 Piedmont victory; Annapolis, capitally; a Gallic huntsman; a blue ribbon; and royalty (twice)?

Q8 (from Lyneve Kimber) Meeting a cold ocean current, a fashionable 18th century fellow and some components of a drum kit might make you shiver; but using a Japanese ATM might take you somewhere warmer. Can you explain?
