Damien Hirst, Michael Grade
Mark Lawson reports on a major Damien Hirst retrospective at Tate Modern. Plus, the verdict on This Must Be the Place starring Sean Penn, and Michael Grade on British television.
With Mark Lawson.
A major Damien Hirst retrospective exhibition opens this week at Tate Modern. Damien Hirst discusses his success and the reaction he gets from cab-drivers, and critic Jackie Wullschlager gives her verdict.
In his new film This Must Be The Place, Sean Penn is almost unrecognisable as Cheyenne, a fifty year-old Goth and former rock star, who sets off on a journey of discovery after his father's death. Jenny McCartney reviews.
Michael Grade has held top positions at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, ITV and Channel 4. He's now presenting a Radio 2 series examining Britain's television industry. The former ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Chairman discusses commissioning Dennis Potter's The Singing Detective in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ toilets, being asked to lower ratings at ITV, and the moment he thought that Bob Geldof had ended his career.
Producer Rebecca Nicholson.
