- Synopsis:
Britain s longest-running arts programme, The South Bank Show was presented throughout by Melvyn Bragg one of Britain s most highly regarded broadcasters and covered every branch of the arts for more than three decades. It undoubtedly set a new standard for arts coverage in the UK and eminently achieved its aim to bring both high art and popular culture to a mass audience, combining detailed interviews, studio performances and profiles of a richly eclectic range of subjects. Its iconic opening titles and instantly recognisable theme music signalled an hour of essential viewing for anyone with even a passing interest in the arts; receiving more than 110 awards including 12 awards and over 30 nominations at the BAFTA's The South Bank Show was broadcast to great critical acclaim in over 60 countries. This second volume contains some of its best remembered shows with subjects including Billy Connolly, Peter Maxwell-Davies, Philip Larkin, David Hockney, Samuel Beckett, Truman Capote, David Bailey and Malcolm McLaren's unforgettable take on Madame Butterfly. - Actors:
