Episode 4 of 13

Paul Gambaccini hosts the wide-ranging music quiz with contestants from London, Bury St. Edmunds and Berkhamsted. From May 2013.

Paul Gambaccini chairs the general knowledge music quiz.

As well as demonstrating a broad general knowledge of music, they'll have to demonstrate a wide knowledge of music in all its variety, as well as specialising in a musical topic of which they've had no prior warning. Will they prefer questions on Verdi, or on Paul Weller?

The fourth trio of competitors battling it out in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Theatre, London are:

* E Goh from London
* Adam Harvey from Bury St. Edmunds
* Richard Wyborn from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
