Omnibus: The Omnibus Edition

BBC One
on BBC One London

The longest-running arts series on British television began 20 years ago this month. Jonathan Miller, one of the earliest contributors to Omnibus, takes a journey through the series' archive. In more than 400 programmes the Omnibus has ranged from biography to drama, and has featured extended interviews with most of the major names in the world of arts and entertainment.
Tonight's plunder from the archive includes sequences from films about figures from the past such as John Donne, Anna Pavlova and Charlie Chaplin as well as extracts from interviews with Dame Edith Evans, David Bowie, Graham Greene, Morecambe and Wise and many more.
