Hidden History: The Lost Portraits of Bradford
Thirty years ago, thousands of portraits from a small studio in Bradford were saved from a skip. They form a unique collection of photographs that records the changing face of a British industrial city in the middle of the 20th century. Many of the people in the portraits were new arrivals from the Asian subcontinent, eastern Europe and the Caribbean, attracted by the offer of work in wool mills. The names of these people are a mystery – only their faces survive. A small studio, Belle Vue, in the middle of Bradford, built a business on taking portraits of the newly-arrived migrants. Photographer Tony Walker used a battered Victorian camera to take images of his customers, which were often sent back to relatives in the countries they’d left behind. Working alongside staff from museums in Bradford, presenter Shanaz Gulzar identifies and tracks down the people in the portraits, and uncovers dramatic social change and the hidden stories behind the portraits.

Remembers...
Elaine Paige looks back on A Night on the Town – a musical extravaganza from the early 1980s, filmed with a mostly American cast of singers and dancers, such as Ann Reinking, Hinton Battle, Frank Gorshin and the wonderful Eartha Kitt. Elaine recalls being drawn to the production as it featured so many songs from writers she most admires – Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and Noel Coward. She had to play several parts, as each musical number had its own vignette, which allowed her to play a very loud and broad hat check girl from the 1930s, a dame from the Deep South and a Russian countess - much to the delight of fellow actor Lewis Collins, with whom she had great fun on set.
A Night on the Town
Musical spectacular, first broadcast in 1983, showcasing the work of Irving Berlin, Noel Coward, George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Ann Reinking and Lewis Collins sing and dance their way through the bright lights of Berlin, London, New York, New Orleans and Paris, meeting Elaine Paige, Eartha Kitt and Frank Gorshin along the way. Alexander Faris conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The Culture Show
To mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the Culture Show presents a special on the art of World War II. Despite being locked into a life-or-death struggle, wartime Britain saw an extraordinary explosion of art. From portraits to posters, cartoons to huge canvases, art was suddenly everywhere. Among the works were some of the most intense and immediate creations of the 20th century. Presenter Alastair Sooke explores the often overlooked history of Britain's wartime renaissance. He meets the Blitz survivors, factory workers and Land Girls who became the subject of iconic paintings and talks to contemporary war artists about the challenges of creating art in conflict zones. Travelling from the shipyards of the Clyde to the concentration camps of northern Germany Alastair discovers how art bore witness, rising above propaganda to create an enduring, deeply humane record of the 'People's War' and laying the groundwork for our own understanding of what art should be and do.
A Timewatch Guide

Remembers...
AJP Taylor was rightly renowned as one of Britain’s finest historians, combining his academic work at Oxford with a successful career as author and broadcaster. Taylor established a reputation as one of the first television historians, noted for his ‘lecture’ style, programmes he made with no notes, covering subjects such as the Russian Revolution, the First World War and warlords. Historian Andrew Roberts looks back Taylor's 1976 series The War Lords, in which he examines the lives and motives of the key leaders in the Second World War. Find out why Mussolini’s rise to power came despite an obvious laziness; why Churchill believed the Battle of Britain was as key a moment in history as Trafalgar; and that coincidentally, Mussolini, Churchill and Stalin were all published authors - Stalin’s book being particularly boring.
The War Lords
AJP Taylor describes the careers of the 'war lords' who dominated the Second World War. This episode looks at Mussolini.

Making Their Mark: Six Artists on Drawing
A good drawing consists of the right mark in the right place according to Maggi Hambling, who compares her regular life-drawing sessions to a musician practising scales. She sees the validity of art as dependent on the ability of the artist to be moved by a subject and to respond to it as directly as possible. 'Drawing from life', she says, 'is the most direct thing an artist does'.

Remembers...
Sir Simon Schama looks back on his 2006 series The Power of Art, which examined the works of eight artists and explored the question 'How powerful is art, can it change your life?'. It was a forensic study not of an artist’s life, but of a moment in that life. A piece of work that was an unexpected triumph, or catastrophe. A look at the world in which that work was created and going back in time to explore what lead the artist to that moment. We find out why the series settled on a ‘no men with beards’ policy, every part played by established actors, including Andy Serkis and Allan Corduner. We see Simon’s joy in remembering his young self, discovering the power of Mark Rothko. We hear about the freedom they had to film some of the world’s finest artworks, given free rein in the Palazzo Borghese for Bernini for example. As Simon Schama explains, 'art has dreadful manners, it’s there to make us see the world in a different way'.

Simon Schama recounts the story of eight moments of high drama in the making of eight masterpieces. How Caravaggio changed the way artists portrayed religious icons.
