Heat 8, 2022
Paul Gambaccini asks questions on every aspect of music, in the eighth heat of the current series.
(8/13)
Three competitors join Paul Gambaccini at MediaCityUK in Salford for another bout of the eclectic music quiz. They may be able to identify music by Bizet and Finzi but how good is their knowledge of the members, and songs, of the Monkees? To be in with chance of a place in the semi-finals they'll need to prove the breath of their musical expertise across more than one genre.
As always, the competitors will have to answer individual questions on an unseen musical theme or category, of which they've had no prior warning.
Competing today are:
Alex Nolan from Ynys Mon
Ian Sutherland from Coventry
Sarah Trevarthan from Manchester.
Producer: Paul Bajoria
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
