Shaken Not Stirred

As the BBC Proms celebrates the music of James Bond in Bond and Beyond, Edith explores the sound of 007 with Bond composer David Arnold.

As the BBC Proms celebrates the music of James Bond in Bond and Beyond, Edith explores the trademark sound of 007.

Edith will be talking to composer David Arnold, who's scored five Bond films, including Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace, about his work on the franchise and the enduring musical legacy of the world's most famous secret agent. And in our weekly feature Harmonising Hollywood, composer Richard Niles takes a closer look at the music of the Bond movies, examining how their music helped establish the trademark Bond sound that continues to influence film today.
