In the first of our ongoing series covering our favourite film composers, myself and Marc look into the life and work of one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century and likely the creator of a multitude of scores that you already know, not knowing they were created by him.

And Star Trek of course!

This episode is very much an experiment so give it a chance.

Rather than running a top ten, I've selected ten of his best soundtracks and included some of his music too.

Enjoy!
