(1/13)
The wide-ranging music quiz is back, with Russell Davies, one of Britain's most knowledgeable music broadcasters, taking the questionmaster's chair for the 2014 series. Another 27 music lovers from around the UK embark on the annual knockout competition to be named Radio 4's musical mastermind.

They'll have to answer questions on the broadest possible range of music, from the core classical repertoire through to stage musicals, jazz, film music, classic and current rock and pop. There'll be the usual generous helping of musical extracts, both familiar and surprising, for them to identify. They'll also have to choose a musical subject on which to answer specialist questions, from a diverse list of choices of which they've had no warning whatsoever.

The first set of competitors this week come from London, Guildford and Edinburgh.

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.
