Semi-final 3, 2024

Counterpoint Series 37
Episode 12 of 13

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the last of the 2024 semi-finals, in the wide-ranging contest of musical knowledge.

(12/13)
Paul Gambaccini hosts the last of the 2024 semi-finals from London's Radio Theatre, as the remaining three heat winners from earlier in the series play off for a place in the Final.

They've already shown the breadth of their musical knowledge; but to make it to the Final they'll really have to be on their mettle. Whether it's Guns n' Roses, Grieg or the Greatest Showman, their expertise across the musical spectrum will be tested through general, specialist and quickfire rounds.

The semi-finalists are
Nicki Cockburn from Cardiff
Vicky Johnson from Nottingham
Anju Sharda from Hertfordshire.

The Final takes place next week.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
