This year's Counterpoint tournament reaches the semi-final stage, with Paul Gambaccini welcoming back three of the heat winners from earlier in the series, all competing via remote link in a time of Covid lockdown.

The pace hots up and the competitors can expect the questions to be tougher, as the race is on in earnest for places in the 2021 Final. As always, they'll be tested on their knowledge of a wide variety of music, with plenty of musical extracts both rare and familiar.

Today's returning semi-finalists are
Eugene Gallagher, a computer analyst from Cheshire
Anne Hodkinson, a retired recruitment officer from Dudley
Martin Warlow, a retired civil servant from Milford Haven.
