In An Ideal World

on BBC Two England

A view of British art and design in the 1930s by William Feaver with Janet Adam Smith Sir James Richards James Fitton , RA
Pearl Binder, Charles Madge

WILLIAM FEAVER is chairman of a major exhibition which opens next week at the Hayward Gallery. He looks not just at art and architecture but beyond them at how in the decade before the war cinemas, motor cars, publishing, journalism, advertising and broadcasting underwent a revolution.
