Middle-Class Heads Up - Grayson Perry, The Reith Lectures

[threebikesmcginty]

Who doesn't like an older guy in a frock bollocksing on about art...

Good fun in actual fact although the frock's not to my taste.

You've got too much time on your hands TBM.

Thanks for the heads up.
Grayson Perry seems like a good guy to me. I liked the series he did a few years ago on the British class system. and he always comes across well on Have I Got News for You.
He also looks quite normal when not doing the Pantomine Dame stuff.

He is an incredibly observant man. Last year he did a great 3 part programme about the class system picking 3 locations in the country for each class. Two of them i have lived in in recent years and he got them spot on and as a result produced some fantastic pieces of art showing the different classes whilst telling a story of someones so called "rise" through the class system. I will certainly be listening to him later on Iplayer

Listened to it on R4 this morning, thought he was very good.

 

[Crackle]

Who and what? Is he dead, 3bm only posts about dead people normally. I read that as the wraith lectures because of that.
