Vince Pope wins RTS award for Best Original Score

Vince Pope, creative director of beetroot music, has won the prestigious 2011 Royal Television Award for Best Original Score for Misfits Series 2.

 

The RTS Craft & Design Awards recognise the huge variety of skills involved in programme production.

 

Vince was presented with the award at a ceremony at The Savoy on Monday, with the judges describing his music as:

 

“Powerful, emotive, weighty and contemporary. A truly engaging score that worked well with the pictures… always adding to the drama, never becoming melodrama.” 

 

"I'm absolutely delighted with the win - Misfits is an amazing programme to work on," said Vince.

 

Vince has scored the music for both series of E4's BAFTA award-winning drama, which features five teenagers on community service who develop unusual superpowers after a freak storm. 

 

It's been a busy time for Vince. Writing the music for yet another BAFTA award-winning drama, Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh; as well as scoring for Sky's supernatural drama, Bedlam, starring Will Young and Kara Tointon.

 

Vince is currently working on Series 3 of Misfits which is currently on air and breaking viewing figures for E4.
