Counterpoint Series 37
Episode 10 of 13

Paul Gambaccini welcomes three music-lovers to the Radio Theatre in London for a semi-final of the wide-ranging music quiz

(10/13)
Counterpoint's 37th season reaches the semi-final stage, with three competitors who've won their respective heats playing off for a place in the 2024 Final. Paul Gambaccini puts the questions on all aspects and genres of music.

The semi-finalists will also have to choose a special subject on which to choose their own individual questions, from a list of which they've had no prior warning. Will they go for Mozart or Northern Soul? Could a round on folk music tempt them more than one on the Bee Gees?

The competitors are:
Paddy Baker from Brighton
James Bingham from County Wicklow
Graham Jones from Milton Keynes.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
