Review

on BBC Two England

The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Hockney's Television: Pop artist David Hockney likes to watch television. But all he ever sees is the test card, because he works when the programmes are on. He considers television to be the great educator, and would like to see it 'properly' used: with continuous transmissions on 30 channels, freedom -from commercials and political pressures, endless variety, something for everybody.

Radnoti: I wanted to be free all my life-and guards escorted me along the road'... Miklos Radnoti, an outstanding modern Hungarian poet, was killed by the Nazis 25 years ago. His life, death, his poetry are powerful indictments against man's bestiality to man: they add up to a plea for being human.
Alan Bates tells the story of Radnoti and reads some of his poems.

Five English Kings: Sir John Gielgud and Professor George Rylands in an evening of Shakespeare at the National Portrait Gallery. Extracts from Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III.
