Heat 2, 2014
Russell Davies hosts the wide-ranging music quiz, with contestants from London and Hampshire. From September 2014.
Russell Davies is in the chair for the second heat in the 2014 series of Britain's most eclectic music quiz.
Russell is joined by three more contestants in the 蜜芽传媒 Radio Theatre in London:
Alan Kershaw from North London
Edward McDermott from Fareham, Hampshire
Stephen Murray from London
As well as answering general knowledge questions on music, they'll also have to pick from a list of specialist musical topics on which to answer their own individual questions, with no prior knowledge of the choices.
There's something to suit every taste and plenty of musical extracts, both familiar and surprising, to identify.
Producer: Paul Bajoria
First broadcast on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4 in September 2014.
