Paul Gambaccini hosts the wide-ranging music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini welcomes competitors from Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Somerset to the latest heat of the eclectic music quiz.

(4/13)
Which film composer's music accompanies Matthew Bourne's new touring production of the ballet The Red Shoes? And in which famously cryptic song lyric of the 1960s do old men play Chinese chequers by the trees?

The competitors in today's contest have no idea what questions await them, but they can be sure they will cover the widest possible range of music. They will also face the notorious specialist round, in which they have to pick from a list of five topics on which to answer individual questions - with no prior notice of what the topics are going to be.

Today's winner goes through to the semi-finals in September.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
