With John Wilson. Folio Prize winner announced, Cezanne and the Modern at the Ashmolean, guitarist Jeff Beck, and Damian Barr on the appeal of the gay best friend in movies.
With John Wilson. We announce the winner of the inaugural Folio Prize and speak to her/him live from the ceremony in London. The 拢40,000 prize celebrates the best English-language fiction from around the world, regardless of form, genre, or the author's country of origin.
C茅zanne and the Modern is a new exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum Oxford, featuring the collection of Henry and Rose Pearlman. They began collecting in 1945 with a work by Jacques Lipchitz and it now includes a matchless group of paintings and watercolours by Paul C茅zanne, as well as paintings and sculptures by artists including Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, and Edgar Degas. Curator John Whitely talks to John Wilson about the collection.
John also talks to guitar hero Jeff Beck about a 50 year career that has seen him play with the likes of The Yardbirds, David Bowie, Eric Clapton and Morrissey.
And as a new teen movie the GBF (Gay Best Friend) is about to open, writer Damian Barr looks at the appeal of the gay best friend in film.
Producer Dymphna Flynn.
