Hollyoaks

[sianychicks]

Does anybody know the name of the piece of classical music which was playing during the scene on Hollyoaks when Scott Anderson was just about to get Darren beaten up this week?

I'm pretty certain it was "Adagio for strings" by Barber, which was famously used in the film Platoon

[bernardo]

I can't help noticing the similarity between johntheplammf's answer to this question, and my answer to someone's question about the music which was used in the film "The Elephant Man" and the Six Nations rugby trailers on BBC TV.  Does this mean that they botyh used the same music?  Or were the credits at the end of "The Elephant Man" inaccurate?

[bernardo]

P.S. I have now been reliably informed that "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber was not in fact the theme tune for "The Elephant Man" (but was one of the other bits of music in the film).  Presumably the music in "Hollyoaks" was the Adagio, as johntheplamf said.
