Presented by MATT HOPPER. TRACK 1- JIM HICKS gives a musical clue to the identity of the person he is going to interview. Plays theme from 633 Squadron. It is, of course, RON GOODWIN who proves to be singularly modest when asked how he goes about writing a film score. Looks at the rough cut of film. Makes a few notes. Rarely uses a piano, prefers to keep instrumental voices in his head. Calls writing music for films musical journalism, writing it is a craft rather than art.

Distinguished members have included Charles Dickens, Conan Doyle, Denis Wheatley and Donald Campbell. UNDERWOOD, as a boy, lived in a reputedly haunted house and as a 9 year old explained the house’s reputation to the many visitors.
