Anthony Wall Remembers - Arena
Anthony Wall Remembers - Arena
When young music journalist and radio trainee Anthony Wall joined the BBC Arena team in 1978 he had no idea what lasting impact this documentary arts strand would have on his life and career. Under the guidance of then series editor Alan Yentob, and working alongside director Nigel Finch, films such as My Way, Desert Island Discs and The Private Life of the Ford Cortina would breathe new life into arts programming in the UK. As Arena celebrates its 50th anniversary, Anthony looks back fondly on his time as producer, director and longest-running series editor, celebrating the films and people that made it ground-breaking, unmissable and unforgettable TV
Anthony Wall Remembers - Arena airs on BBC Four HD at 10:00 PM, Monday 22 September. (Subtitles, new.)
