Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the seventh heat in the 2013 series of Counterpoint, this week coming from the BBC's studios at Maida Vale.

The questions and musical extracts cover territory as diverse as Wagner, Lionel Bart, Handel and Culture Club. As ever, the contestant who can demonstrate the widest range of musical knowledge stands to win a place in the semi-finals, which begin in a few weeks' time.

This week's competitors are from London, Woodstock in Oxfordshire and Romsey in Hampshire. A full list of the music played will be posted on the Counterpoint website after the broadcast.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
