Exiles
A television play by HUGH WHITEMORE based on Exiles by MICHAEL J. ARLEN starring Alan Badel as Michael Arlen
Martin Shaw as his son, Michael J. Susan Engel as his mother, Atalanta and Ned Sherrin as Noel Coward Michael Arlen , author of The Green Hat , was one of the most successful popular novelists of the 20s. He was also an exile; an Armenian born in Bulgaria, but brought up in England and resident for the last years of his life in the USA. Now, after his death, and the decline in the popularity of his works, his son looks back on his life, and tries to make sense of it.

This month: Achtung Minen !
The work of Ian Hamilton Finlay
William Feaver introduces the latest work of this unique and controversial artist, known since the 60s as our foremost concrete poet. We visit Finláy's remote home in Scotland, where he has constructed his garden as a poem, a submarine noses its way through the bushes, an aircraft-carrier functions as a bird bath, and the sign on his front lawn tells us to beware of mines - Achtung Minen !
Plus Cleveland Brown a truly original naive painter from North London whose subjects include the Spaghetti House Siege and the Queen's Jubilee.
Commercial Break - News and pictures about other events in the arts.
Directors JOHN HOOPER and DIANA LASHMORE Producer LESLIE MEGAHEY
