Adil Ray, Helen Lederer, Jackie Clune and Mark Billingham compete in the Front Row Quiz

Mark Lawson hosts the Front Row Quiz of the Year. Team captains Natalie Haynes and Mark Billingham are joined by Adil Ray, Helen Lederer, Jackie Clune and Mark Ravenhill.

Mark Lawson turns Quizmaster to test the cultural knowledge of two teams in the Front Row Quiz of the Year.

Singer and performer Jackie Clune and playwright Mark Ravenhill are led by writer and Booker judge Natalie Haynes. They are competing against actress and writer Helen Lederer and Citizen Khan creator and star Adil Ray, under the captaincy of crime writer Mark Billingham.

Questions cover a wide range of the year's events, including Doctor Who's 50th birthday; best-selling autobiographies, with extracts disguised by actor in residence Ewan Bailey; and a mathematical puzzle based around the compositions of Wagner, Britten and Verdi.

Producer Claire Bartleet.
