(5/13)
The fifth heat of the 2014 series sees competitors from Leeds, Leek in Staffordshire and Ulverston in Cumbria facing Russell Davies' wide-ranging music questions. The programme comes from Media City in Salford.

Orchestral music, chamber music, opera, church music, jazz, folk, stage and film musicals, classic rock and sixty years of pop hits are all fair game - with the contestants having no idea where the next question will take them. There are plenty of musical extracts to suit every taste, with full details of the music played available on the programmes' webpages. 

The winner will go through to the series semi-finals later in the year.

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.

Russell Davies hosts the general knowledge music quiz.
