The Culture Show Uncut - 2008/2009 - Episode 2

New series of the arts and culture programme, presented by Lauren Laverne. Verity Sharp meets 27-year-old Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel. Like his fellow members of the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra, Dudamel is the product of El Sistem - free musical education for some of the poorest young people in Venezuela. Simon Rattle has called Dudamel and El Sistema, "the most important thing happening in classical music today". Dudamel, who will be in the UK for some much anticipated performances this summer, talks revealingly about his background, his music and being called the Mick Jagger of classical music. Andrew Graham-Dixon takes to the Scottish skies in a helicopter to look at beautiful and baffling land art, while Karl Pilkington continues his American adventure on the set of Ricky Gervais' directorial debut, This Side of the Truth. Mark Kermode gives his view on the week's cinema releases, including The Incredible Hulk starring Ed Norton. Music comes from Elbow, accompanied by Richard Hawley, who perform The Fix from their new album, the Seldom Seen Kid, and Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan who perform 'Keep Me in Mind Sweetheart'.
