Russell Davies with another heat of the general knowledge music quiz.

Russell Davies chairs the latest heat of the wide-ranging general knowledge music quiz, with contenders from Greater Manchester and Lancashire.

(8/13)
Russell Davies is in the chair for the penultimate heat in the 2014 series of the wide-ranging music quiz. The competitors face questions on everything from early music and the classical era to 20th century musicals, jazz, film and TV themes, rock and pop. As always they'll be given a choice of topics on which to demonstrate their specialist knowledge - the catch being that they have no prior warning of the topics on the list. 

This week's hopeful contenders are from Greater Manchester and Lancashire, and the programme comes from the University of Salford.

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.
