Heat 6, 2025

Counterpoint Series 38
Episode 6 of 13

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for another heat of the ultimate music quiz, with questions on music of all varieties and eras

(6/13)
Another three contenders join Paul Gambaccini at the Radio Theatre in London, to answer questions on the widest possible spectrum of music. Paul will be testing their knowledge of the classical repertoire as well as musical theatre, jazz, folk, world music and sixty years of the pop charts - with plenty of musical extracts to identify.

Appearing in today's heat are:
Eleanor Ayres from Cambridge
Nancy Braithwaite from East London
Mike Sarson-Rowe from Wiltshire.

As well as fielding general questions on music, the competitors will have to choose a special subject on which to answer solo questions in the spotlight - with no prior warning of the topics on offer. How wise will their spur-of-the-moment choices turn out to be?

Counterpoint is a 91热爆 Studios Audio production.
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
