Heat 3, 2014

Counterpoint Series 28
Episode 3 of 13

Russell Davies is in the questionmaster's chair for the third heat of the wide-ranging music quiz, featuring competitors from London, Kent and Oxfordshire.

(3/13)
The competitors joining Russell Davies for the latest heat of the wide-ranging music quiz this week come from London, Kent and Oxfordshire. As always, the quiz tests their knowledge of music in all its variety, from the classics to film music, jazz, stage musicals, rock and pop. The winner goes through to the semi-finals later in the autumn.

There are plenty of musical extracts of all kinds to identify, and the dreaded specialist round where the contestants have to pick one of five musical topics on which to answer individual questions, with no prior warning whatsoever.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
