Damien Hirst, Michael Grade
Mark Lawson reports on a major Damien Hirst retrospective at Tate Modern. Plus, the verdict on This Must Be the Place starring Sean Penn, and Michael Grade on British television.
With Mark Lawson.
A major Damien Hirst retrospective exhibition opens this week at Tate Modern. Damien Hirst discusses his success and the reaction he gets from cab-drivers, and critic Jackie Wullschlager gives her verdict.
In his new film This Must Be The Place, Sean Penn is almost unrecognisable as Cheyenne, a fifty year-old Goth and former rock star, who sets off on a journey of discovery after his father's death. Jenny McCartney reviews.
Michael Grade has held top positions at the 大象传媒, ITV and Channel 4. He's now presenting a Radio 2 series examining Britain's television industry. The former 大象传媒 Chairman discusses commissioning Dennis Potter's The Singing Detective in the 大象传媒 toilets, being asked to lower ratings at ITV, and the moment he thought that Bob Geldof had ended his career.
Producer Rebecca Nicholson.
