I can't see that this programme has previously received a thread of its own, oddly enough.
Whatever some think about film music featuring on R3 (I have no problem with it), I find this series regularly enjoyable and instructive. Matthew Sweet's presentation is very good too, I think.
My interest varies with the subject matter, but some of the programmes have been revelatory for me. I loved the ones last year about Film Noir, Music for Studio Ghibli, and the music of William Alwyn. And most recently, the two programmes devoted to Franz Waxman.
The first of the latter is only available for another 3 days http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09k6s24 and was if anything the more interesting. Some terrific music, well capable of standing on its own.... The programme has sent me off to Qobuz and Amazon to acquire some of it (especially for car journeys).
One of the remaining programmes on R3 that I listen to most often.
