Counterpoint Series 37
Episode 9 of 13

Paul Gambaccini presents an eclectic choice of questions about music, to test three more amateur music lovers in the wide-ranging quiz.

(9/13)

Another three music enthusiasts from around the UK face Paul Gambaccini's questions in the latest contest from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's studios in Salford. Whether it's chart music, classic rock, jazz, musical theatre, film and TV themes or the whole gamut of the classical repertoire, they'll have to prove the breadth of their knowledge if they're to win the last of the places up for grabs in the semi-finals.

Appearing today are
Andrew Fisher from Sheffield
Caroline McKay from Frodsham in Cheshire
Sarah Wade from Thornton-Cleveleys in Lancashire.

The contenders will also have to select a special musical category on which to answer their own individual questions, with no prior warning of the subject choices they'll be offered.

The semi-finals begin next week.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
