How music affects our emotions in TV programmes, films, games and adverts.Featuring music from µώ±π²β΄Η²Τ³¦Γ©, The Specials, BMX Bandits, The Ramones and Django Rheinhardt.

This programme explores how music affects our emotions and how it is used in TV programmes, films, games and adverts. What message is behind the music? We find out why the Simpsons theme tune suits the programme and why Star Wars' Imperial March is perfect for Darth Vader. But what would happen if those themes were swapped? We explore how advertisers choose music to sell products and why music is so important in game play. Featured artists include µώ±π²β΄Η²Τ³¦Γ©, The Specials, BMX Bandits, The Ramones and Django Rheinhardt.
