The Genius of British Art (2010)

British Art has a colourful and unique history. This series takes a refreshing look at the genius of British art through the eyes of contemporary arts commentators. The presenters - including David Starkey, Gus Casely Hayford, Roy Strong, Howard Jacobson, Jon Snow and Janet Street-Porter - bring their individual expertise to bear on key areas of British painting through the ages. Tackling monarchy, class, landscape, sex, war and modern art, this series adds a whole new level of understanding to the history of art.
