The Appalling Mr Dali
BBC Radio 4
Malcolm McLaren gives an account of the outrageous, irrational, egocentric and sexually perverse Salvador Dali, the brilliant populariser of surrealism. To coincide with a major exhibition at the V&A, these programmes are recorded on location in Spain and shot through with wonderful archive, stories of the man and accounts of Dali's work, especially Dali's fanatical pursuit of publicity - the calculated offensiveness and scandal he generated and his very modern talent for media manipulation.
"We're left wishing the programme was twice as long" Radio Times
