Heat 7

Counterpoint Series 34
Episode 7 of 13

Paul Gambaccini hosts the eclectic music quiz, with competitors this week from Manchester, Leytonstone and Llandudno.

(7/13)
Paul Gambaccini's questions in this heat of the musical quiz range from Bernstein to Saturday Night Fever and from Andre Previn to Roxy Music. Recorded under lockdown conditions with all contestants joining in from home, the show nevertheless takes them well beyond their comfort zones.

Playing this week are
Helen Barker, a social worker from Manchester
Ian Clark, a retired music librarian from Leytonstone in East London
Nicki Cockburn, a mature student from Llandudno

The winner will take another of the places in the semi-finals which begin later this month.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
