Paul O'Grady, Gary Hume and the Liverpool Art Biennial

Mark Lawson talks to Paul O'Grady and reports from the Liverpool Art Biennial where Gary Hume reveals the winner of this year's John Moores Painting Prize.

Mark Lawson talks to Paul O'Grady about his autobiography The Devil Rides Out and the programme reports from the Liverpool Biennial, the UK's largest contemporary visual arts events.

For ten weeks every two years the city of Liverpool is transformed into a living gallery of new art, showcasing artists from around the world. This year artworks include a version of the Liverpool Football club dressing room in the Bluecoat Gallery, 1000 glass blown bells installed in the Oratory at St James Cemetery and an artist who punched a worker's time clock located in his studio, on the hour, every hour for a year.

Mark Lawson and critic Richard Cork sample some of the art on show at a range of galleries including Tate Liverpool, the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technology), the Contemporary Urban Centre and the Open Eye Gallery.

Also in the programme the results of the John Moores Painting Prize 2010 will be revealed by painter Gary Hume. Previous winners include David Hockney, Richard Hamilton and Peter Doig.

Producer Helen Roberts.
