Episode 7
Russell Davies chairs the latest heat of the wide-ranging general knowledge music quiz, with competitors from Alfreton, Preston and Wigan.
(7/13)
The seventh heat in the 2014 series is chaired by Russell Davies, with three contestants from the North of England facing questions on music of all varieties. This week's contenders come from Alfreton, Preston and Wigan.
As always, they'll have to demonstrate the breadth of their musical knowledge, and choose a musical special subject on which to answer individual questions - from a list of which they've had no prior warning. There are plenty of musical extracts and clues to identify, including both familiar pieces and new surprises.
The winner will take another of the places in the series semi-finals in a few weeks' time.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
