Sounds Of The 80s With Gary Davies
Radio 2, 8pm
The Lightning
Seeds may be more of a
1990s Britpop phenomenon, but frontman Ian
Broudie (right) is nevertheless joining Davies to discuss his memories of the preceding decade.
In Barry Humphries: Barry’s Forgotten Musical Masterpieces (Radio 2, midnight) the comedian concentrates on songs released between 1922 and 1938, the years of Lord Reith’s stewardship of the BBC.
The latest edition of Sound Of Cinema (Radio 3, 3pm) focuses on the history of widescreen movies, which featured music to match the epic, sweeping vistas depicted by Hollywood directors.
