Heat 8, 2015

Counterpoint Series 29
Episode 8 of 13

Paul Gambaccini's entertaining music quiz reaches the eighth heat of the 2015 season, with competitors from London, Norfolk and Devon.

(8/13)
Everything from cats in classical music to the hits of Queen is on offer to the competitors in the ultimate quiz for music lovers, which reaches its eighth heat of the 2015 series.

Paul Gambaccini puts questions on every imaginable musical style and era to this week's trio of contestants. At stake is another of the places in this year's semi-finals.

As always, as well as answering general knowledge music questions, they'll have to pick a musical topic in which to specialise, with no prior warning of the choices and no chance whatsoever to prepare.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
