Two weeks of films on the life and work of Pablo Picasso begin with a dramatised documentary that takes its title from the painter's youthful signature.
There are contributions from those of his mistresses still alive. Irene Lagut is now 102, and speaks for the first time on television about the man who was her lover in 1915. Also featured are Franchise Gilot and Genevieve Laporte.
"Women are either goddesses or doormats," he was once reputed to have said, and certainly he was capable of treating them as both.
Picasso is here portrayed by Brian Cox, at work in his studio during the 1960s while being filmed by a documentary director, played by Bill Paterson.
New footage is combined with home movies, newsreels and archive film to set the scene for the Picasso season.
(Richardson on Picasso tomorrow at 8.20pm)
