Music Monday: Great TV show Soundtracks

If you've read my previous blog post, you'll know that I will posting about music every Monday, and to start off I thought I'd talk about awesome TV shows with equally awesome soundtracks.

First off is My Mad Fat Diary, a six part series on E4 which is based on the book My Mad, Fat Teenage Diary by Rae Earl but set a decade after in the 90s. The story is great on its own, but the soundtracks for every episode are brilliant, and they get the song just perfect for every part of the story. Expect a lot of Oasis, Radiohead, The Stone Roses and some random stuff too (Babylon Zoo's Spaceman for one, but you'll get why when you watch it). If you haven't watched this definitely check it out on 4od, and to get the playlist from the series, search it on Spotify or go on the My Mad Fat Diary website.


Next is Russell Howard's Good News. This is my favourite stand up comedy show, and what makes it even better is the music inbetween the different sections. The songs are only played for a few seconds, but I still get really excited when I hear a song I like. The songs are mainly indie rock, but you get one or two other genres in there. You can catch up on the latest series of Good News on BBC iPlayer

And finally... Made in Chelsea. Don't judge me, I initially hated this show as I generally find reality TV incredibly boring, but my mum watches it so she got me into it. Part of what made me continue watching it (and shouting at the characters when they're annoying, which is most of the time), is the music. I'm not a huge fan of the songs they play, but if you want all the current and newest indie music, check out their Spotify playlist. I'm not going to recommend the programme though unless you like reality TV, and I warn you, you will get addicted. The last episode of this series is on tonight at ten on E4, but if you do ignore my warnings and want to watch it, you can see it on 4od.

Hope you enjoyed this post and have a listen to these soundtracks!
