The Final, 2024

Counterpoint Series 37
Episode 13 of 13

Paul Gambaccini hosts the grand Final, to decide the champion in the 2024 contest of the nationwide music quiz.

(13/13)
Paul Gambaccini welcomes the three competitors who've won through heats and semi-finals to make it to the final hurdle in this year's tournament. At the Radio Theatre in London, one of them will lift the trophy as Radio 4's musical mastermind of 2024.

Paul's questions cover the usual wide range, from Rachmaninov to the Kinks, Bernstein, the Wonka soundtrack and Mark Ronson. The Finalists will have to choose, as usual, from a list of special topics on which to answer their own individual questions, with no warning of what the categories are.

Contesting the title are:
James Bingham from County Wicklow
Annie Hodkinson from the West Midlands
Anju Sharda from Hertfordshire

The winner will become the 37th ±«Óătv Counterpoint champion.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
