BBC Radio 3 - Sound of Cinema, First Dates

Matthew Sweet looks at the music from films listeners have seen on first dates.

Listeners call in to tell Matthew Sweet about the films they saw on - both successful and, very frequently, disastrous - first dates.

What was your experience of a first date at the cinema? Presumably you arrived together - but did you leave separately? Matthew Sweet listens to listeners' experiences of their movie first-dates and - rather appropriately - plays great, thrilling and tragic music from the films.

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.

Factual: Arts, Culture & the Media

Music: Easy Listening, Soundtracks & Musicals
