A celebration of the flamboyant writer Robert Graves , showing to mark his centenary year.Â

Graves is famous as the author of I, Claudius, but he was also a prolific poet and critic, and author of a fine account of the First World War, Goodbye to All That. Love was Graves's great theme as a poet, and his complicated love life gave him endless inspiration. His affair with American poet Laura Riding lasted 13 years and in later years a succession of "muses" shared his bohemian life.

Through all this his wife Beryl stayed with him, and in tonight's programme she and other members of his family contribute to an affectionate but candid portrait of a great English eccentric.
