(8/13)
Today's Counterpoint contest once again features competitors taking part on remote links from their own homes during the Covid lockdown. The rivalry is no less keen than if they were together on stage, with all three hoping their musical knowledge will win them a place in the semi-finals. Dolly Parton, John Coltrane, Stephen Sondheim, Pavarotti and Michael Jackson all feature in the questions - and will anyone pick the specialist round on James Bond themes?

Today's contenders are
James Dingle, an editor from Cambridge
Patricia Hester, a nurse from Reading
Steve Lodge, a care support worker from Bridgwater in Somerset.
