Chippendale - isn't he one of the guys who helps Norm Abrahams in NYW?
Now seriously, thanks for the info.

Thanks John, looks interesting.

 

[Peter Sefton]

I will be tuning in and recording it. Thanks for the heads up

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I wonder who the other three will be? Gibbons? Barnsley?

 

[nanscombe]

Well, next week is Grinling Gibbons.

 

[Waka]

Looking forward to tonights.

Given my interest in matters historical, I will certainly be watching this.

Given my interest in matters historical, I doubt I'll find much new in it. :-(

I wonder if this is a trend towards more woodies in the BBC? There was the documentary recently about a guy who started to manage on old woodland for coppicing (unfortunately I didn't get to see all the episodes) and BBC radio had a series of talks about trees (unfortunately I didn't get to hear all of them). I hope we may see more programming around wood in the future. Perhaps we should all send in favourable feedback to the BBC to help encourage them?

There are 3 episodes. They are made in partnership with the V&A, who have more to say about the programmes than the BBC:

The Extraordinary Thomas Chippendale
The Glorious Grinling Gibbons
The Divine Art of Carpentry

I mentioned to my wife that Chippendale was on TV tonight.
She got all excited - I don't know why!

You should have waited and shouted "Here, come and look at these Chippendales", you would then have seen just how fast she can move. :twisted:

Thanks for the heads up Mr-P.

That bus programme was excellent in my opinion, but not to the temperament of everyone.

BBC TV has 'experimented', if that's the term, with these minimalist almost silent films about a particulat subject in the past to good effect. I recall one about a chair-maker, but..... not exciting enough for all.

I have no objections to suggestions based on my previous viewing - it's really helpful, as you found.
