Includes an interview with sculptor Barbara Hepworth, who discusses her influences and style.And John Izzard meets with author JRR Tolkien at his home, walking with him through the Oxford locations that he loves while hearing the author's own views about his wildly successful high-fantasy novels. Tolkien shares his love of nature and beer and his admiration for 'trenchermen' in this genial and affectionate programme.
