Buxton Festival 2010
The South Bank Show was launched in 1978, with Paul McCartney as one of its first guests: from the outset ITV’s flagship culture programme sought to erase the distinction between high and popular culture.
Over the next 32 years, it produced studies of almost every living cultural icon from Luciano Pavarotti to Andrew Lloyd-Webber, David Hockney to Tracey Emin. In this talk its presenter Melvyn Bragg revisits some of the programme’s highs and lows including this year’s final broadcast when he received The South Bank Show award for outstanding achievement.
