Encyclopedia > Face The Music (television)

Face The Music was a popular BBC television series about classical music. It began in 1966 and ran well into the 1970s.


The programme was in the form of a quiz, but there was no scoring and no winner. It was chaired by Joseph Cooper, and the panel consisted of three celebrities. Each week there would be a special guest, who would also have to answer questions. The questions to the panel were asked in a series of rounds, each with a theme, such as "The Face, the Music" (where a member of the panel would have to identify a composer from his picture, while music by a different composer was played in the background). The most popular round was the "dummy keyboard", where Cooper played a famous piano piece on a dummy piano so that it had to be identified merely from his hand movements.


Regular panel members included Joyce Grenfell, Robin Ray, Richard Baker, Bernard Levin, David Attenborough, Valerie Pitts, and Patrick Moore. Guests included William Walton, Arianna Stassinopoulos, Dudley Moore, and Nigel Kennedy.


The theme music was an extract from Walton's Facade suite.
