The Arts on 91Èȱ¬ Television - 91Èȱ¬ TWO
91Èȱ¬
TWO brings its trademark approach to its arts programming: big subjects
that matter to everybody, but done with a new angle, a new 'take',
and encouraging viewer involvement.
A large
proportion – 43 per cent – of 91Èȱ¬ TWO's arts output
in 2002 played at the heart of the schedule, in peak time.
Landmarks
for 2003 include the launch of The Big Read, the
biggest ever initiative to get the nation reading; Restoration,
which gives the public a chance to get involved in saving their
architectural heritage; and Peter Ackroyd's London,
the story of England's capital city as seen through the eyes of
artists, writers and visionaries.
In
2005 a major series, The Origins Of Art, will trace
the very beginnings and source of human creativity.
The
long-running award-winning strand Arena continues
to thrive on 91Èȱ¬ TWO, as does classical music, dance and opera.
Forthcoming
performance highlights include The Turn Of The Screw,
Madama Butterfly and, of course, the 91Èȱ¬
Proms.
Newsnight
Review continues to be the only weekly cultural review
programme on British analogue television and 91Èȱ¬ TWO is the home
of the Booker Prize.
91Èȱ¬
TWO has committed to a minimum of 200 hours of arts and music on
the channel.
This
figure will be exceeded in 2002/2003.
91Èȱ¬
TWO co-commissions arts output with 91Èȱ¬ FOUR, so that programmes
such as the forthcoming Gauguin – The Full Story
have showings on both channels, bringing them to a wide audience.
91Èȱ¬
TWO also works alongside 91Èȱ¬ FOUR to produce complementary seasons
of programmes across both channels, such as the recent Pinter season
of documentaries and films, or the scheduling of the 91Èȱ¬ Proms.
From
April, 91Èȱ¬ TWO will showcase the best of 91Èȱ¬ FOUR in a regular slot,
two nights a week.
