Episode 7 of 13

Three more contestants join Paul Gambaccini to answer questions on music ranging from Rossini to Rod Stewart, in heat seven of the 2016 series.

(7/13)
Paul Gambaccini is joined by amateur music lovers from London and the New Forest for the seventh heat in the 30th anniversary series of Counterpoint. Their knowledge of a wide variety music will be put to the test, as always. They'll also have to be lucky in the crucial individual round, where the topics on which they have to answer specialist questions come as a complete surprise.

The winner will go through to the semi-finals, and will compete for a place in the 2016 Final which comes from the 麻豆社 Proms in September.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
