Do you know at which cathedral the England cricket captain Alastair Cook was once a chorister? Or which eccentric musician fronted The Magic Band? The answers to these and many other musical questions are revealed in this week's edition of Counterpoint, chaired by Paul Gambaccini.

The contestants in the second heat hail from London and Bristol, and they'll be hoping their general musical knowledge will be wide enough to carry them through to a semi-final place.

They'll also have to face individual questions on a special musical topic which will be sprung on them completely out of the blue, with no chance to prepare. And there'll be plenty of musical extracts to identify, both familiar and surprising.
