From The Apprentice to Game of Thrones, Poldark to Pride and Prejudice, the BBC Concert Orchestra brings TV’s best-loved tunes to Nottingham with Radio 3’s Friday Night is Music Night: TV Classics.

Friday Night is Music Night: TV Classics

Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall

Comic genius Harold Lloyd is the hapless hero in this iconic silent romantic-comedy film that follows a boy’s attempt to earn enough money to support his girlfriend. As soon as he makes it big in New York City, she will follow and marry him. But all doesn’t go to plan… Performing his own death-defying stunts with slapstick bravado, one of the most enduring images in cinema is Lloyd hanging from a clock face - apparently dangling from the side of New York skyscraper!

The most powerful soundtracks can stand alone without any visual support. They come alive, becoming characters in their own right, and hearing a few bars can instantly transport us back to a favourite scene.
