It’s a face off north of the border with Emma in Manchester and Andrew in Cheshire.

It’s the Midlands vs Devon when Martin takes on Ali , but who gets the smart speaker?

Our survey says… will it be top marks for Sarah in Selby & Mark in Keighley?

Not here, just Tony in Kettering and Ian in Kent, hoping it goes straight in the pocket.

    Good questions but no point having a show when the quality of the majority of the contestants are so bad. Isn’t there even a check to see if they have any knowledge of music at all?

  • Ten to the top

    Really wanted this to be as good as Popmaster, but, it seems a poor imitation, The host tries but it lacks the fun laid back presentation of Ken Bruce.

  • Be quiet Vernon

    I am fed up of Vernon hinting at the beginning of the podcast at scores and outcomes. If we were lucky enough to be listening live he could not ruin our listening pleasure. Also he forgets to include the score at the end of the first player. Almost tempted to download whole programme and fast forward to quiz so I can eliminate the inane chatter.
