A portrait of F. Scott Fitzgerald by RICHARD MULLEN
Forty-five years after his death, the legend of Scott Fitzgerald lives on - the extravagant lifestyle, the handsome face, the tumultuous affair and stormy marriage with Zelda Sayre , his debts and his alcoholism.
Now more celebrated than ever, his novels are still read after many of his contemporaries are forgotten.
Producer JOHN KNIGHT. BBC Bristol (R) Revised
Britain's ills are often attributed to an inability to adapt to change. But is change possible if the country's leading institutions remain set in their ways?
This new series takes a critical look at six pillars of society, outwardly powerful, but facing the insecurity of being misunderstood by a sceptical public.
1: The Bar
Hugo Young examines an institution that dates back to medieval times, whose independence is regarded by some as the pillar of the legal system, and by others as the most exclusive closed shop in the country.
