SOUNDTRACK is your one hour red carpet ride to the marvellous music of movies and television. We’ll give you the inside scoop on the songs, and feature the films and TV productions in which they were played – we’ll also where we can – share the background on the songwriters, composers, producers, directors and music supervisors attached to the tunes and of course we’ll enjoy the songs themselves. Now, As you might imagine with the hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies made over the years the scope for SOUNDTRACK is massive – so we’ll give each episode an area of focus and shine the spotlight on that and for this one it’s all about productions where the plot line involves the characters MOVING!!!!! And who better to join me in the co-host’s chair than my housemate and sidekick Katie Rae. After 13 years in our last house we’ve moved an we are motivated. We’re surrounded by boxes with a great assortment of snacks set to deliver a cornucopia of tunes for you from the big and small screen. We’ve got some sweet jazz standards and chart-topping pop rock tunes, some original songs and creepy scores. We’ve even got a TV theme song sung by the lead actors and a calypso classic that had a major big screen moment – 30 years after it’s popular release, and now more than 68 years later will be back for the sequel later this year.
