Heat 9, 2016
Competitors from Bradford, Nottinghamshire and Edinburgh join Paul to discover who will take the last of the nine semi-final places.
Competitors from Bradford, Nottinghamshire and Edinburgh join Paul Gambaccini to discover who'll take the last of the nine semi-final places in this 30th anniversary series of the eclectic music quiz.
To succeed, the competitors will have to remember two composers who've made operas of the story of Turandot, and recognise musical extracts by Rodgers & Hammerstein and Iggy Pop among others. That's even before they face their own set of individual questions on a musical topic of which they've had no prior warning.
At stake is a semi-final place and a chance to go forward to the 2016 Final in September.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
