BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 27, Episode 6

Paul Gambaccini chairs the general knowledge music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini chairs the sixth heat in the current series of the general knowledge music quiz, with competitors from Chester, Glasgow and Malvern in Worcestershire.

(6/13)

Do you know which hit comedy film of the 1980s featured the theme tune 'Axel F'? And in Berlioz's opera based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, which two characters are named in the title?

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the latest heat of the music quiz Counterpoint, this week coming from Media City in Salford and featuring competitors from Glasgow, Chester and Malvern in Worcestershire. 

One of them will win a place in the semi-finals later in the summer, and may be in with a real chance of becoming the 27th Counterpoint champion. 

There's music to suit all tastes, and plenty of surprising facts and anecdotes.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
