on BBC Two England

This month includes:

The Journey: Jazz singer, writer and self-confessed surrealist George Melly takes a day trip through rooms, streets, a strange cafe, with brief and curious encounters on the way. Among them, the last of the surrealists in England and a top punk rock band. His destination - the Hayward Gallery and a major show of pictures and objects from the days of Dada and surrealism. But what is 'the journey' as they called it, and is it possible to make it today and still be surprised?

Henry Moore meets Leonardo: Our greatest living sculptor confronts the superb anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and talks about them in relation to his own life long study of the human body.

Plus our Commercial Break.
