A Sussex man was out quizzed on a popular radio feature this morning.

Richard Goodyer, from Worthing, made the final of BBC Radio 2’s Champions League PopMaster on Ken Bruce’s show where contestants show off their music knowledge.

Richard, who reads water meters for a living, was the runner-up with a cumulative score of 103 points.

He was beaten by David Ogilvie from Houston, Renfrewshire, who scored 126 points – the best Champions League winning score of all time.

In his two previous rounds, Richard scored 36 then 24 points, and in his final round today he scored 43 points.

For this final round, he selected the category Top Twenties. Richard’s final total of 103 points would have won in three of the six previous Champions League competitions, but unfortunately this year it was not to be.

After the competition, Richard said: “Thank you Ken and thank you to all your team at BBC Radio 2 for giving me the chance to make it happen. And a Merry Christmas to you and everybody listening at BBC Radio 2. And well done David.”

The hunt for PopMaster Champion 2023 begins next week with DJ Spoony, who will be covering for Ken Bruce, from 9.30am – 12 noon.
