According to Radio Today, Tearjerker is a 12-part series.

Smith said of the series, "It’s important to try and find time to just let go and let music take you to a different place. I hope the music in my new series – from strings and piano to songs and soundtracks – will help you whatever you’re feeling, bring out different emotions and make you feel a little better. Presenting it made me feel a lot more relaxed too."

Tearjerker isn't the only new BBC Radio 3 show launching this month, as Celeste will premiere her first episode of Downtime Symphony this Saturday (23 January).
