Sister Wendy's Odyssey

on BBC Two England

Sister Wendy Beckett set forth from the seclusion of her Norfolk retreat to visit six of Britain's finest art collections and became a television star in the process. This repeat run of her Odyssey is showing as a prelude to a new series next year, when Sister Wendy's Grand Tour takes the reclusive nun to see the major European collections for the first time.
This week, Sister Wendy visits Liverpool's Walker and Tate collections, and talks about work by Poussin, Guercino, Spencer and Hockney.

Followed by Sarajevo - a Street under Siege
