Episode 8 of 13

Paul Gambaccini puts the questions to another three competitors in the eclectic music quiz, from the Radio Theatre in London.

(8/13)
Paul Gambaccini welcomes three music lovers to the quiz that covers music of all eras and genres. There are extracts from Nina Simone, John Legend, Laurie Anderson, Placido Domingo and Billy Joel, and questions on everything from Renaissance choral works to contemporary movie themes. The three contenders will also have to opt for special musical topics on which to answer their own individual rounds, with no prior warning of the categories on offer.

Taking part are:
Kathryn Johnson, from Middlesex
Mark Jones, from York
Harry Shaw, from Cheltenham.

The winner will take another of the places in the semi-finals, which begin in a couple of weeks' time.
