This article focuses on BBC Four's original music programming, considering documentaries which, according to the channel's commissioning guidelines, 'tak[e] a musicology approach' to give audiences a 'privileged view' of 'how the music was made'. It focuses on two case studies: Tunes for Tyrants: Music and Power with Suzy Klein (2017) and Being Beethoven (2020) . Drawing upon original interviews with key production personnel for each series, this article explores the roles of music scholars in the television production process. It examines how musicologists are engaged with a production, what roles they undertake, and the value of their work for programme makers
