Episodes
Fantastic Mr Dahl
Alan Yentob explores the magical and mysterious world of the best-selling children's author Roald Dahl to discover what made him such a great storyteller. This intimate portrait has exclusive access to his personal archive and features interviews with members of his immediate family, including his widow, Felicity, his first wife, the actress Patricia Neal, his children Tessa, Theo and Ophelia, and his granddaughter, the model Sophie Dahl.
Frida Kahlo
Alan Yentob travels to Mexico to take a closer look at the colourful life of the artist and feminist icon Frida Kahlo, and assess the complex portfolio she left behind. With some of her works sold for over $10m (£5.5m), since she died in 1954 she has become Latin America’s greatest artistic export.
Being a Concert Pianist
Alan Yentob gets under the lid of this extreme form of musicianship as he talks to Benjamin Grosvenor, the 12-year-old boy who last year won the piano section of the Young Musician of the Year competition. Is someone of such a young age ready to be subjected to this notoriously punishing and athletic musical discipline?
