Canvas looks again at some of the world's most famous paintings previously seen in the series 'First Eleven.'

Yeames's version of a dramatic Civil War incident has perhaps the unenviable distinction of being the most parodied of English paintings. The very title has become a joke. For years the canvas was hidden away in the basement of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and although it's now back on show it's possibly regarded more as a curiosity than as a great painting.
Roy Strong, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, discovers a version of Yeames's painting in an unexpected setting and explodes at least one of the myths that contributed to its popularity.

Together with the Money-Minder, a regular feature with up-to-the-minute news of the Stock Market.

with Percy Thrower from Crathes Castle, Kincardineshire (by arrangement with the National Trust for Scotland)

The gardens of this great 16th-century Jacobean house on Deeside were laid out in the 18th century as a complex of seven separate gardens all different in character. In this second visit Percy Thrower concentrates on three more of them.

starring Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett
with New World, Tina Charles and Madeline Smith as Henrietta

Madeline Smith is not the kind of girl a man would look at twice in the street. He would look three or four times and then run round the block so he would pass her again. Then swoon. (Anon)

Starring Geraldine Chaplin, Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez, Alfredo Mayo

Charles Chaplin's daughter Geraldine plays both roles in this modern tragedy about a middle-aged doctor who tries to change his shy nurse into the ideal woman of his dreams.
Director Carlos Saura, whose films Los Golfos and La Caza have received critical acclaim throughout the world, is virtually unknown in Britain. Tonight's premiere presentation should help to establish his reputation here.
