Paul Gambaccini hosts the wide-ranging music quiz with contestants from Chester, Glasgow and Malvern. From June 2013.
Paul Gambaccini chairs the general knowledge music quiz.
The contestants will have to display their knowledge of music in all its variety, from which hit comedy film of the 1980s featured the theme tune 'Axel F' - to which two characters are named in the title of Berlioz's opera based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing?
There are plenty of musical extracts to identify, both familiar and surprising.
This trio of competitors battling it out at Media City in Salford are:
* Miles Arnot from Chester
* Wilson Bain from Glasgow
* Philip Holland from Malvern
Producer: Paul Bajoria
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in June 2013.
