Semi-final 3, 2022

Counterpoint Series 35
Episode 12 of 13

Another three semi-finalists join Paul Gambaccini to find out who'll complete the line-up in the 2022 Final of the music quiz.

(12/13)
In the last of the semi-finals for 2022, the three competitors who won the North of England heats earlier in the series return to contest the one remaining Final place. From Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel to Elgar and Bizet, they'll have to demonstrate the breadth of their knowledge of music in all its variety, as the pace intensifies at this stage in the tournament.

As always, in addition to musical general knowledge they each have to choose a set of individual questions on a topic or theme of which they've had no prior warning.

Today's semi-finalists are:
Joanna Munro from Liverpool
Sarah Trevarthan from Manchester
Neil Wright from the Wirral.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
