Counterstrike
Is there anything on the whole of BBC radio more deceptive than Counterpoint? It's half an hour of Ned Sherrin reeling through questions about Delius, Rimsky-Korsakov and mid-ranking musicals, then every so often there's a question about a massively famous current pop act and none of the Brain Of Britain-esque contestants has a clue, so people like me think you'll be able to piss it if you entered.

Agreed - I've asked the BBC a few times about this, suggesting that they move it to Radio 3 if they want to keep the classical bias. I think my favourite memory was one of the subject rounds and someone chose electro-accoustic music, with much commiseration from Ned Sherrin - and then went on to almost ace it.
