(10/13)
Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the first of this year's semi-finals. Competitors who won their respective heats now play off for a place in the 2017 Final. To get there they'll have to show a strong command of a range of musical topics, from Beatles cover versions to British baritones - and as always there are plenty of musical extracts to identify, both familiar and surprising. 
Today's semi-finalists are from Oxfordshire, Kent and Merseyside.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
