A profile of Richard Rogers , one of the most original and controversial talents in architecture today.
It was Rogers, together with his Italian partner RENZO PIANO , who created the spectacular Beaubourg Arts Centre in Paris. Described variously as 'art hanger', 'oil refinery ', ' cultural colossus ' - it caused a furore when first unveiled, but has now brought new life to the area, and attracts as many as 50,000 visitors a day, even more than Disneyland!
British architect Rogers has returned to England to embark on even more ambitious projects - a startling new home for one of Britain's oldest institutions, Lloyds of London, and a huge and much-debated scheme to enliven London's South Bank, the Coin Street project.

A season of film biographies of artists and musicians. The Brothers Grimm
This Omnibus film looks, at the magical world of the classic fairy tales, and at the lives of those strange brothers who helped to preserve them.
In this dramatised film, scenes from these Germanic stories are reconstructed. We discover what extra measures were adopted when the Prince failed to wake Sleeping Beauty with a kiss; why Cinderella's slipper was originally made of fur; what revenge the traditional story-tellers took on their own version of Shylock.
The Brothers Grimm saw it as their life's work to preserve these stories before they vanished for ever.
