I absolutely need to find a way of watching this. Delighted to hear it opens with a caption 'which sets out exactly where we are and what is happening without the need for a lot of dialogue and showing rather than telling'. Excellent. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…
