Matthew Sweet investigates the weird and wonderful incidental music of Doctor Who.

Matthew Sweet time-travels through Doctor Who's 47-year history to investigate the weird and wonderful soundworld of its incidental music.

How do you make a sink-plunger seem scary? Matthew Sweet, who spent the Saturday tea-times of his youth peering at the television from behind the sofa, time-travels through Doctor Who's 47-year history to investigate the weird and wonderful soundworld of its incidental music. He talks with some of the composers who have contributed, in very different musical styles, to the enduring success of the programme over the decades.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
