The Arts on Â鶹Éç Television - Â鶹Éç TWO
Â鶹Éç
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 Â鶹Éç 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 Â鶹Éç TWO, as does classical music, dance and opera.
Forthcoming
performance highlights include The Turn Of The Screw,
Madama Butterfly and, of course, the Â鶹Éç
Proms.
Newsnight
Review continues to be the only weekly cultural review
programme on British analogue television and Â鶹Éç TWO is the home
of the Booker Prize.
Â鶹Éç
TWO has committed to a minimum of 200 hours of arts and music on
the channel.
This
figure will be exceeded in 2002/2003.
Â鶹Éç
TWO co-commissions arts output with Â鶹Éç FOUR, so that programmes
such as the forthcoming Gauguin – The Full Story
have showings on both channels, bringing them to a wide audience.
Â鶹Éç
TWO also works alongside Â鶹Éç 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 Â鶹Éç Proms.
From
April, Â鶹Éç TWO will showcase the best of Â鶹Éç FOUR in a regular slot,
two nights a week.
