Semi-final 3
The last semi-final in this year's tournament of the music quiz, with Paul Gambaccini asking the questions.
(12/13)
Another trio of heat winners from earlier in the series joins Paul Gambaccini for the contest to decide the one remaining place in the 2021 Counterpoint Final. As always, there are questions covering the whole musical spectrum. How will the contestants fare when asked to identify a Tchaikovsky overture, a theme from a great European film, and a brass arrangement of an 80s rock classic?
They also each have to tackle their own individual round of questions on a special musical topic or theme of which they've had no prior warning.
Hoping to win their way through to the Final are:
Nicki Cockburn, a student from North Wales
Steven Lodge, a care support worker from Somerset
Tim Wise, a retired salesman from Surrey.
Producer: Paul Bajoria
