Melvyn Bragg on South Bank special

The Newswrap is overjoyed to welcome Melvyn Bragg into the guest spot this week, as the current series of his long-running South Bank Show reaches a climax. The Sky Arts magazine format has been showcasing the best up-and-coming British talent for this rather special season and Melvyn opens up about his experiences meeting this cream of the crop, along with how it speaks to TV’s wider diversity push. Later, the Labour peer has some stern words for the government over the potential privatisation of Channel 4 and hands us a window into the Bragg household by taking part in everyone’s favourite ‘What We’ve Been Watchin’’.
