Heat 5

Counterpoint Series 34
Episode 5 of 13

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the wide ranging music quiz with questions from the fields of classical music, musicals, TV and film themes, chart pop and jazz.

(5/13)
There are musical extracts by Strauss, Ravel, Prince and Heaven 17 in store for the contestants in the fifth heat of the series, recorded without an audience. There's no 'buzzer round' this year because of the need to accommodate contestants taking part on broadband links - but the competition promises to be as keen as ever. Today's contestants are

Bryan McAlley, a former prison governor who now runs a repair cafe in East Sussex
Charles Redfearn, a semi-retired civil servant from North London,, and
Anju Sharda, a civil servant from Hertfordshire.

The winner will go through to the semi-finals.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
