A personal enquiry by Gerald Scarfe.

Omnibus asked the distinguished caricaturist Gerald Scarfe to direct a film about William Hogarth, a man who in addition to his many other talents was perhaps the greatest caricaturist in the history of British art.
Scarfe accepted the challenge, and this programme is the result: a different 'art film' whose purpose, in Scarfe's own words, is to prove that 'William Hogarth is by no means dead, but is very much alive, and of our own time.'
