it starts in 10 minutes.
sort of musical related, as Matchstalk Men & Cats Dogs, [Brian & Michael], and Pictures of Matchstick Men [Status Quo] were both written about him, there was another song about him as well, forgot what it is called now.
He was a painter from Salford, famous for industrial landscapes.

So he's responsible for them is he? Time he cleaned them up a bit.

That's be the programme with Rolf Harris. Wasn't at all bad.

Enjoyed watching, and learned a thing or two I hadn't known before (as usual). The Beeb's been accused of dumbing down with these progs. I can see why, but I think the premise of having a painter re-create a known work of art gives an insight into the original painter's philosophy and technique. Anyone who, like me, has done a bit of painting will know already that it's not just a matter of simply slapping some paint onto paper or canas.
