Yinka Shonibare
British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare is a multidisciplinary visual artist, working across fabrics, painting, drawing, sculptures and film. He was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize in 2004, was made an MBE in 2005 and awarded a CBE in 2019. He is perhaps best known for his giant sculpture Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle, which sat on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London in 2010 before being bought for the nation and going on permanent display outside the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
This documentary is an intimate insight into Yinka Shonibare’s life and work, discovering his inspirations and influences, as well as the events and forces which have shaped him. It takes the form of an in-depth first-person interview with Yinka in his studio in east London, in which he talks candidly about his life and career.
During the film, Yinka views archive footage, both from the public domain and from home movies, as well as a number of photographs and catalogues. Much of the footage Yinka has never seen before, and some of it not for many years. We see him surprised and delighted by it, as well as deeply moved at times: the emotions of his reactions, at times humorous and at other times tearful, are captured by close-up shots of Yinka’s face as he watches the material.
Yinka talks about his desire to be an artist from a very early age and his struggle to convince his family that this was a valid career path. He also discusses his time at Goldsmith’s Centre for Contemporary Art, where he was one of the now infamous Young British Artists who took the British art world by storm, not least when exhibited at Charles Saatchi’s Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy in London in 1997.
There is also actuality footage of Yinka at work in his studio, drawing alone and liaising with his fabrics team for new pieces of work. We also see him visiting the Royal Academy, with his partner, where he views etchings by one of his favourite artists, William Hogarth, the inspiration behind Yinka's early photographic work, Diary of a Victorian Dandy, as well as discovering that his sculpture Cheeky Little Astronomer is on display in the Collection Gallery.
Thought-provoking and often emotional, the film takes the viewer into Yinka’s world, exploring not only the work that has made him one of Britain’s leading cultural figures, including his ongoing and key use of batik fabric, but also revealing how key events such as his upbringing in British and in Nigeria, and the spinal virus he contracted as a teenager, which left him paralysed down one side of his body, have shaped his life and work.
MON 01:10 What Do Artists Do All Day? (b06qnn2d)
Yinka Shonibare
Best known for 'Nelson's Ship in a Bottle', which appeared on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, Yinka Shonibare MBE is one of Britain's foremost contemporary artists, rising to fame as part of the 'Sensation' generation along with Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin in the early 1990s.
Since then Shonibare has created a unique body of work. Often influenced by his Nigerian origins and combining darkness and humour, his art challenges our ideas about cultural identity and the post-colonial world.
For the last 20 years Shonibare has created a series of distinctive 'mannequin' figures - anonymous, headless and dressed in African batik fabrics. This film follows Shonibare creating his latest figure and talking about his life and career.

TUE 23:45 Britain's Outlaws: Highwaymen, Pirates and Rogues (b06qskdx)
Pirates
Few figures in British history have captured the popular imagination as much as the outlaw. From gentleman highwaymen, via swashbuckling pirates to elusive urban thieves and rogues, the brazen escapades and the flamboyance of the outlaw made them the antihero of their time - feared by the rich, admired by the poor and celebrated by writers and artists.
In this three-part series, historian Dr Sam Willis travels the open roads, the high seas and urban alleyways to explore Britain's 17th- and 18th-century underworld of highwaymen, pirates and rogues, bringing the great age of the British outlaw vividly to life.
Sam shows that, far from being 'outsiders', outlaws were very much a product of their time, shaped by powerful national events. In each episode, he focuses not just on a particular type of outlaw, but a particular era - the series as a whole offers a chronological portrait of the changing face of crime in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Sam takes to the high seas in search of the swashbuckling pirates of the golden age of piracy during the early 18th century. Following in the wake of the infamous Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Calico Jack and others, Sam charts the devastating impact these pirates had during an era of colonial expansion and how, by plundering the vast network of seaborne trade, they became the most-wanted outlaws in the world.

The Wildest Weather in the Universe
We love talking about the weather - is it too hot or too cold, too wet or too windy? It's a national obsession. Now scientists have started looking to the heavens and wondering what the weather might be like on other planets. Today, we are witnessing the birth of extraterrestrial meteorology, as technology is allowing astronomers to study other planets like never before. They began with our solar system, sending spacecraft to explore its furthest reaches, and now the latest telescopes are enabling astronomers to study planets beyond our solar system.
Our exploration of the universe is revealing alien worlds with weather stranger than anyone could ever have imagined - we've discovered gigantic storm systems that can encircle entire planets, supersonic winds, extreme temperatures and bizarre forms of rain. On some planets, the temperatures are so hot that the clouds and rain are believed to be made of liquid lava droplets, and on other planets it is thought to rain precious stones like diamonds and rubies.
We thought we had extreme weather on Earth, but it turns out that it is nothing compared to what's out there. The search for the weirdest weather in the universe is only just beginning.

Just two years before the books were published, prospects for the three unmarried sisters were bleak. Their brother was battling alcoholism, Charlotte was hopelessly in love with a married man, and their father was going blind. But by 1848, they were a literary sensation. To find out how this extraordinary turnaround happened, Martha, Lucy and Helen each immerse themselves in the life of a Brontë sister. From everyday routines at the Parsonage to walks on windswept moors, from harsh schooldays to misadventures as governesses, the trio learn how the Brontës combined literary genius with real-life experience to create some of the best-loved novels in the English language.

Wuthering Heights
Bradford-born actor Vinette Robinson gives a spellbinding performance as she narrates Emily Brontë’s groundbreaking novel.
The much-loved work stands as a timeless classic, set against the haunting backdrop of the Yorkshire Moors and seen through the eyes of housekeeper Nelly Dean. At the heart of the story is the intense and destructive love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, whose passionate connection weaves a dark and tumultuous tale of revenge, obsession and the brutal forces of nature.
The setting, the desolate moors, mirrors the wild and uncontrollable emotions of its characters, creating an atmospheric and Gothic backdrop for the drama. Emily Brontë’s exploration of the darker aspects of human nature and the complexities of love deviates from the societal norms of her time, making Wuthering Heights a trailblazing work in 19th-century literature.
