Jo has the Thursday Theme: songs relating to George Clooney, to mark the actor’s birthday this weekend.

George Clooney’s career has spanned over four decades so far, during which he has won four Golden Globes, two Academy Awards, and a Bafta. He first started to gain prominence in 1994, when he played Dr Doug Ross in the medical drama ER, but by the early 2000s, his position as leading man and film star was firmly cemented.

To celebrate George’s 62nd birthday this Saturday, Jo will be playing half an hour of your favourite songs that relate to the actor. From Batman and Robin, One Fine Day and the Ocean’s series to Gravity, Tomorrowland and Ticket to Paradise, there’s a huge catalogue of soundtracks to choose from, or you can get creative and think of a song that connects to George’s work in another way!

Send all your suggestions for songs relating to George Clooney to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk.
