Tommy Pearson hosts a week of programmes featuring music from films of the last 60 years.

The BBC Philharmonic under Rumon Gamba perform music from the golden era of British cinema at Ealing Studios, the birthplace of such gloriously zany films as The Lavender Hill Mob, Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ladykillers, by composers who included Alan Rawsthorne, Benjamin Frankel and the most prolific of all, Georges Auric. But Ealing Studios also spawned some of the great war films of the era, such as The Cruel Sea and The Overlanders. Today's programme includes extracts from all of these, as well as Whisky Galore, Passport to Pimlico, The Titfield Thunderbolt and The Man in the White Suit.
