BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 35, Semi-final 2, 2022

The wide-ranging music quiz chaired by Paul Gambaccini.

Paul Gambaccini hosts the second semi-final in this year's series of the long-running music quiz.

(11/13)
All three competitors in the second semi-final of this year's Counterpoint tournament are women, and all three are heat winners from the earlier stages of the competition. Paul Gambaccini puts them through their paces again, and the standard is sure to be high as they have their sights set on a place in the 2022 Final. 

As always, all genres of music are fair game for questions. How are they on the films of Doris Day or the arias of Handel, and if they get those will they also recognise a hit by Olivia Rodrigo or the lyrics to a song by Madonna? 

Taking part today are
Isabelle Heward from North Lincolnshire
Rebecca Pasha from North Buckinghamshire
Rachel Thomas from Hertfordshire.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria

Counterpoint: Series 35

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
