Waa! Waa! Waa! Waaaah!
February 17th, 2009 by Russell DaviesMaybe the best thing about this programme is the way the continuty announcers really enjoyed trailing it all week. Clearly delighted to be asked to do something silly. But there's a lot else that's good about this overview of scores and soundtracks for comedy films and TV. It takes in the influences of silent cinema, the genius of Scott Bradley and his scores for Tom And Jerry and the modern tendency to make the music play it straight. Fantastic stuff. The programme page tells you almost nothing about it, but there's some additional info in a press release buried somewhere down this page. (MP3 here.)
