From Coronation Street to Doctor Who and Game of Thrones, composer Neil Brand presents a new series about the use of music in television. Plus: Grayson’s Art Club Exhibition. Here’s what to watch this evening
Examining the world of TV music, composer Neil Brand opens his new series with a fascinating examination of the television theme tune – from the eerie electronic sound of the Doctor Who theme, to Coronation Street’s brass band and Game of Thrones’ epic orchestrations. First, Brand meets Simon May, the creator of the EastEnders theme, and revisits his childhood favourite Bagpuss. Then, collector Jonny Trunk takes us through his catalogue of library music.
