Episode 5 of 13

Paul Gambaccini asks questions on music of every variety and era in the nationwide music quiz.

(5/13)
Paul Gambaccini welcomes three music lovers to Salford's MediaCityUK studios, to compete in another heat of the widest-ranging music quiz of them all. They'll have to prove their knowledge of everything from Bach to Bowie and from Handel to Harry Styles. This week's contenders all hail from the north of England, and as usual they'll be asked an individual set of questions on an unseen special topic for which they haven't prepared, as well as on general musical knowledge.

Competing today are
John Dyer from Huddersfield
Diane Hallagan from Leeds
Terry Norris from Liverpool.

The winner will take another of the places in the 2023 semi-finals, and a crucial further step towards the title of 36th ±«Óãtv Counterpoint champion,

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
