A series about some of the best-known images in art

The image of the big man in the red scarf hangs in poster shops all over Britain, alongside Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and the Stones.
Like today's pop personalities, Aristide Bruant became a cult figure in the Paris of the 1890s. Toulouse Lautrec designed several posters for Bruant's performances, and out of this ephemeral art he created some of his most remarkable images.
George Melly visits a London poster shop to look at this and other works by Lautrec.

Cameron MacDonald is five years old, and lives at Glenfarclas, on Speyside, where his father manages one of the 50 famous distilleries in that beautiful Highland valley. An only child in a glen where the other boys and girls already attend school, he has created a busy world of vivid imagination and hard work.' On his first day at school he meets, behind a closed door, the world of facts, 'reality,' and competition.
