Film, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. This week’s edition from August 8th 2009 was re-braodcast on 21st May 2011 in tribute to that week’s guest, the larger-than-life musician, broadcaster and all-round legend Big George who very sadly and very suddenly passed away earlier that month. A fine tribute to possibly the only guest in the history of the show to talk Jonny under the table; the show kicks off with his theme tune to ‘Have I Got News For You’ as you’ve never heard it before…
