- presents a fascinating programme following the Victorians through the art of the time. This week's episode was about cities and how the Victorians shaped the country we know today by firstly being afraid of the whole idea of this new industrial cities and gradually transforming them with civic pride. The paintings capturing the era are described and shown perfectly - how those depicting the poor were often given a make over so they could be sold to wealthy customers, who didn't like to see the stark reality of poverty.It's a really absorbing programme!
. He's so rude. It's a shame, as I think I could probably like him, you know, on the same wavelength sort of thing, as regards programmes like that. He's so combative though, and it's not just in hard-hitting interviews, (which there may be a need for sometimes), but I saw him on a light tv programme, and he was just so sneering and arrogant. I didn't see the need for it.
