Three more music lovers join Paul Gambaccini for the second heat of the 2016 tournament, from the historic Maida Vale studios of the BBC. Paul will be putting the breadth and depth of their musical knowledge to the test, as they compete for a place in the semi-finals later this summer.

The questions and extracts range from Russian opera to 1960s TV themes and big band jazz - and that's just in the first round. As always, the competitors also have to select a special musical topic for their own individual round, from a list of five which they've been given no previous sight of, and no chance to prepare.
