A fortnightly magazine of the arts.
Introduced by Huw Wheldon.
Tonight's programme includes:
Poet Laureate
A film study of Lord Tennyson Tennyson came into the nineteenth century as a romantic and a revolutionary. He left it as Queen Victoria's Poet Laureate and the conscience of his age. For twenty years he was obsessed by his friendship for Arthur Hallam -alive and dead.
The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan
