The Final, 2025

Counterpoint Series 38
Episode 13 of 13

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair as the ultimate music quiz reaches its climax, with this year's top contenders vying for the title of Counterpoint champion.

(13/13)
Who will be named the 38th 成人快手 Counterpoint champion? The cream of this season's contenders, who've made it through heats and semi-finals, line up for the ultimate musical knowledge contest.

Paul Gambaccini's questions encompass classical favourites, film musicals, heavy metal, jazz, world music and pop both classic and contemporary. The Finalists have no idea what's going to come up and will have to prove the breadth of their knowledge, and keep their nerve on the buzzer, if they are to take home the silver trophy. As always, there are plenty of musical extracts to identify, from across the widest spectrum of musical genres.

Counterpoint is a 成人快手 Studios Audio production.
