The Rise of the Celebrity Class

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

3/4. Desperately Seeking Meaning. With fame and wealth never enough for the celebrity class, those in the public eye soon branch off into politics, charity and philanthropy. Here, Blur's Alex James and artist Damien Hirst discuss their involvement with the Beagle II Mission to Mars project. Plus the unhappy relationship between politics and celebrity is highlighted with Noel Gallagher 's visit to Downing Street and the Beatles' meeting with Harold Wilson. But are charities beginning to suffer as stars start to back only fashionable causes? Suede's Brett Anderson , Frank Skinner , Jamie Oliver and Sara Cox are among the contributors.
