A superb series - really enjoying it.

Angelo Badalamenti's recollection of how he sat down at the piano with David Lynch and wrote the theme to [i]Twin Peaks[/i] was a fugging ace moment, among many.

If nothing else it is a reminder of the genius of Bernard Herrmann and John Barry.

To think that Bernard Herrmann started writing scores in the 40's and went on to write incredible and revolutionary scores for The Wrong Man and Psycho in the late 50's and then continued to do exactly that in the mid 70's with Taxi Driver.... The score for Taxi Driver still sounds as fresh and original and edgy as it did back then. Genius.

the show presented by David Arnold was worth listening to just for the "unexpected item in the bagging area" gag.
