Forbidden Hollywood

BBC Four's celebration of film music begins with Sound Of Cinema: The Music That Made The Movies, a three-part documentary presented by writer, composer and film music aficionado Neil Brand. Neil tells his alternative history of cinema, putting the soundtrack centre stage. The series features some of the biggest directors of past and present, including Quentin Tarantino, Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese, alongside film scores of cult and blockbuster movies like Star Wars, Inception, Hitchcock's Psycho, and Gladiator.

Places that were once home to or inspired Hollywood films, world-famous musicians, a sports legion, and war heroes are now run-down, abandoned, and forbidden; experts investigate their mysteries and reveal the astonishing secrets behind ten of the world's most iconic abandoned places.
