I agree that much music can destroy the
programme it accompanies, but the music in The
Green Planet (BBC1) is wonderful. It enhances
some of the threats the programme is depicting
and gives background to more peaceful scenes.
Geoff Pilgrim

My wife and I had hardly noticed the background
music in The Green Planet, probably because,
to us, it gelled with the remarkable photography
being shown.
