There's only one place left in the semi-finals of this year's series and it will go to the winner of today's contest, which comes from the Radio Theatre in London. There are questions and musical extracts covering the widest possible range of music, from Puccini and Haydn to Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross. The competitors will also have to choose a topic on which to answer a round of individual questions, without having any warning of the topics on offer.

Appearing in the final heat are:
Jo East from Orpington in Kent
Anne Durkin from Elland in West Yorkshire
Gary Nichol from Edinburgh.

Paul Gambaccini brings his impeccable expertise to the questionmaster's chair.
