Paul Gambaccini welcomes three more music lovers to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Salford studios for another contest of musical knowledge

(8/13)

Three more amateur music lovers will be trying to impress Paul Gambaccini with their knowledge of music in all its varieties, whether it's opera, choral music, show tunes, jazz, folk, rock and pop, or music from the world of film and gaming.

Today's competitors are
Stephen Hatcher from Ashbourne in Derbyshire
Annie Hodkinson from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
Leslie Hooper from Glasgow

To earn a place in the semi-finals they'll need to prove the breadth of their musical knowledge, as well as selecting a special musical topic on which they'll get a set of individual questions with no prior warning of the categories on offer.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
