Fabulous from Simon Schama as always. A whole, insightful section on the heroic pop artist Pauline Boty who so rarely makes it into TV docs. Wonderful viewing www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Simon Schama’s Story of Us
Art and culture define us - but in an age of change, who are we now? In divided times, Simon Schama asks whether art, music and words can be the threads that bind us together.
