The wide-ranging general knowledge music quiz with Paul Gambaccini

Paul Gambaccini heralds a new run of the wide-ranging music quiz with a seasonally-themed edition

(1/13)
The general knowledge music quiz returns for a new season, with Paul Gambaccini in the question-master's chair. To launch the series, the questions facing the three competitors in today's heat have a wintry flavour. From the Gershwins to Kate Bush and from Christmas number ones to 21st century ballet music, there's something to suit every taste. 

Taking part in the opening programme of the series are
Julian Ashton from Abingdon in Oxfordshire
Leigh Haggar from Fleet in Hampshire
Isabelle Heward from Goxhill in North Lincolnshire.

The winner will take the first of the semi-final places and another step towards possibly being named the 35th BBC Counterpoint champion.
