The Cinema of Bernard Herrmann - This month marks the centenary of film composer Bernard Herrmann's birth in June 1911. He created some of the most recognisable film scores in cinema history: from Psycho's stabbing strings in the shower to the rise and fall of Vertigo's romantic theme, to Taxi Driver's sleazy sax sounds on the streets of 70's New York. Herrmann forever changed the way film music was thought of with his groundbreaking work, so we look again at his brilliant body of work and explore why his iconic scores worked so well on the big screen.

'Itch of the Golden Nit'- Aidan Brocklebank, (age 10, from Glasgow) discusses how he became one of thirteen kids who have drawn a major character in the Tate Movie Project's 'Itch of the Golden Nit'.

Nic Roeg - As the new restoration of Don't Look Now is released we listen again to Janice Forsyth's interview with the great man who discusses his brilliantly atmospheric adaptation of the novel by Daphne du Maurier.
