Episode 13
The 2013 series of the general knowledge music quiz reaches the grand final, with Paul Gambaccini asking the questions.
(13/13)
The competitors who have won through the heats and semi-finals of the 2013 Counterpoint series during the past three months finally have their sights on the 27th Counterpoint title, and the handsome silver trophy that goes with it.
Their final hurdle is the grand Final at London's Radio Theatre, with Paul Gambaccini quizzing them on every aspect of music, from Cole Porter to Coldplay, from Rossini to the Rolling Stones.
The three Finalists are from Glasgow, Bristol and Essex: and the breadth of their knowledge through the series so far points to a tight and thrilling contest.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
