BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 27, Episode 12

Paul Gambaccini chairs the last semi-final of the general knowledge music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini chairs the third and last semi-final in the general knowledge music quiz, with contestants from Cheltenham, Bury St Edmunds and Debden in Essex.

Paul Gambaccini welcomes the last of this year's Counterpoint semi-finalists to the BBC Radio Theatre, for the contest that will decide which of them appears in the 2013 Final.

At stake is a real chance to lift the silver trophy as the 27th Counterpoint champion. This week's semi-finalists are from Cheltenham, Bury St Edmunds and Debden in Essex.

To make it through to the Final they'll have to draw on the widest possible musical knowledge, from Wagner and Beethoven to Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. As always there are plenty of musical extracts to identify, both familiar and surprising.

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.
