(1/13)
Paul Gambaccini returns with the first heat in the 2015 series of the wide-ranging music quiz. Amateur music lovers from around the UK tackle Paul's questions on all aspects and genres of music, from the classical repertoire to jazz, show tunes, film music, rock and pop. In a knockout competition the eventual winner will become the 29th 麻豆社 Counterpoint champion, at the grand Final in August.
In this first heat the competitors come from Dorset, Norfolk and Surrey. As well as proving the breadth of their general musical knowledge they'll have to select a special topic from a list of which they've had no prior warning, on which to answer individual questions.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
