Stumbled across some of the old Arena programmes on BBC iPlayer.

Very different time (and aspect ratio) but pleasant viewing.

I started with the one on Two Tone records and just let it roll.

Chelsea Hotel episode is mad, and the Edward Hopper one was good I think but so much slower than modern programmes you needed to properly relax into it

One of my favourite artists

I like hoppers work, what you see is what you get. You don't have to get into the artists head, interpret the subtle hidden message, revel in the abstract forms, although I'm sure many will try. It's a picture.
 
I wanted to watch this one but I don't have Sky, have to wait 'til it comes on Prime or Netflix.
I'm half way through, it's the early 1920's before fascism was copied around Europe, peaky blinders era & style on a larger scale. Luca Marinelli plays Mussolini brilliantly, talks to camera and constantly shags.

Really enjoyed Becoming Led Zeppelin (cinema).
Like a documentary narrated by the 3 remaining members using footage from late 60's as they were forming and breaking through.
Brilliant musicians and ground breakers. Their story was not how I was expecting it to be.
I was too young to fully appreciate them at the time. Loved hearing stuff I haven't listened to for decades.
