Matthew Sweet looks at film music inspired by Lewis Carroll\'s Alice, in the week of the release of the new Disney film, "Alice Through The Looking Glass". Matthew looks at music for some of the many films based on the Alice books and also films that are more indirectly inspired by them, including Dmitri Tiomkin\'s music for the 1933 "Alice in Wonderland"; John Barry\'s 1974 version; Richard Hartley\'s score for the 1999 TV version; and music by Danny Elfman for Tim Burton. The programme also features music by Howard Shore for "The Last Mimzy"; Christian and Joe Henson for "Malice in Wonderland"; Christophe Beck for "Phoebe in Wonderland" and Don Davis\'s music for "The Matrix".

The Classic Score of the Week is Sammy Fain\'s and Oliver Wallace\'s music for Walt Disney\'s 1951 animated "Alice in Wonderland".
