Art of Arts TV

For the past half century, arts programming has been one of the cornerstones of British public service television. This three-part series sees an illustrious line-up of luminaries, including David Attenborough, Joan Bakewell, Melvyn Bragg, Jonathan Miller, Jonathan Meades, Ken Russell, Brian Sewell and Alan Yentob, reflect on the contribution that arts programmes have made to our national broadcasting culture. Coming under the spotlight in this episode are arts magazine shows like Late Night Line Up, The Late Show and The Culture Show - a genre that has often set the cultural agenda, and provided the forum for many explosive debates.
