BBC Four has just put up a new special collection called simply 'London'. Lots of great archive programs on there, but two stand out as relevant to this blog. In Clive James: Postcard From London the Aussie critic interviews the late Stanley Green aka the 'Protein Man' on Oxford Street. Ours to Keep: Incomers, about the fight to save 18th century buildings in Spitalfields, features Denis Severs, the American artist who turned his home at 18 Folgate Street into a 'still life drama'. Both men had unique personal visions, although with wildly different levels of success. Both will feature on this blog in due course.
