Face The Music (BBC Quiz, Joseph Cooper)

Face The Music was a long running quiz show hosted by the always at the piano Joseph Cooper. This was no pop style show though, the emphasis was very much on the classical world with occasional forays into other (non-pop genres).

Most regular guest panellists over the years were Joyce Grenfell, Robin Ray and Richard Baker.

There was a one-off revival on Channel 4 broadcast 1 July 2007 with John Sergeant hosting and Rory Bremner, Steven Isserlis, Katie Derham and Rainer Hersch as panelists.

Producers: Walter Todds (series 1-9), Peter Butler (series 10-11)

UK / BBC Two / 128×30 minute episodes / Broadcast 3 August 1967 – 16 December 1984

Head of film reviews at The Viewers Guide with an erudite, insightful, slightly sardonic, deep appreciation for classic cinema. Has a habit of quoting obscure lines from old films in everyday conversation. He keeps a meticulously organized film logbook. He's a bit of a tea snob.
