Art clashes with commerce in tonight's visit to London's prestigious art college as the series highlights the financial problems facing both students and the institute. Leigh Clarke admits that he was drawn to the financial potential of print-making, and with that particular department selling £40,000 of work at last year's degree show, he has his eyes on a share of this year's spoils. Meanwhile, Rector Christopher Frayling has to negotiate the world of patrons and sponsors as he tries to secure a million pounds from a single donor.
