Episode 170: The Art of Radio Times AND The Eye of the 'Eye'
November 24, 1981
This week, a total contrast in visual style-the art of RADIO TIMES and the jaundiced eye of Private Eye. The Art of Radio Times: Since 1923, the 'official organ' of the BBC has been a leader in design and illustration. Among its contributors: Nash, Whistler and Ardizzone. Arena raids the archives and visits the legendary Eric Fraser , a regular contributor for 55 years. The Eye of the ' Eye ': Twenty years ago Lord Gnome's private organ pioneered its own maverick visual style with the help of a few unknowns: Gerald Scarfe , Ralph Steadman , Willie Rushton , Bill Tidy et al. Watch the current edition take shape! See ' Great Bores of Today '; ' The Last Chip Shop in England '; ' True Stories ' and much more.
