The Art of Arts TV

An illustrious line-up of luminaries offer fascinating and trenchant insights into one of the most celebrated, and often controversial, areas of the genre: the single arts documentary.

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.

In the final episode, we reconsider some of the most ambitious and celebrated of all arts programmes - the major landmark series, fronted by some of the art world's biggest names, including Kenneth Clark's epic Civilisation, John Berger's cerebral Ways of Seeing, and the inimitable Robert Hughes' series The Shock of the New.
