Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend! Tom's guest is Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo, chief conductor of the 91������ Symphony Orchestra. Fresh from conducting this year's Last Night of the Proms, Sakari talks about his journey into conducting and why a conductor needs the awareness of a pilot, the sensitivity of a social worker and the heart of an artist. Plus - want to be a conductor like Sakari? A new video game, 'Maestro', gives players the chance to conduct an orchestra from their sofa - giving players a chance to play levels from Berlioz and Verdi to John Williams and Vivaldi. Tom tries out his armchair conducting on the game and speaks to the team's in-house conductor Gena Liévano about how they made the musical gameplay experience as life-like as possible. Also, this Autumn marks the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking animation studio Aardman, who have created classics from Morph and Shaun the Sheep to the much-loved Wallace and Gromit. Composer Julian Nott talks about how he created the iconic theme and musical world of the Wallace and Gromit films.
