(13/13)
The three competitors whose musical knowledge has carried them successfully through heats and semi-finals in this year's tournament now go head to head, in the contest for the 2021 Counterpoint title. They are all taking part from home under Covid lockdown restrictions.

Paul Gambaccini's questions range across the usual wide variety of musical genres. Classic rock, 90s R&B and 19th century opera feature in just the first few questions, and there's a 1970s soul hit in an unusual arrangement. The competitors will also have to pick a special topic on which to answer their own individual questions, for which they've had no chance to prepare.

Hoping to take home the Counterpoint trophy are
Steven Lodge, a care support worker from Somerset
Anju Sharda, a civil servant from Hertfordshire
Martin Warlow, a former civil servant from Pembrokeshire.
