Bakewell at the ±«Óãtv
A look back at some of Joan Bakewell's finest interviews, including Sir Robin Day, Sir Kenneth Clark, Bette Davis, Arthur Askey, Nelson Mandela, Bing Crosby and Jacob Bronowski.
A glorious romp through 50 years of little-seen archive in which Joan Bakewell brings back to life the biggest stars of arts and entertainment, stage and screen. A trailblazing interviewer in a mini-skirt, Joan fearlessly confronts the most self-important and pompous and keeps her dignity. See her joust with Sir Robin Day, flirt with Sir Kenneth Clark of Civilisation fame and keep her end up with Bette Davis. From Arthur Askey to Nelson Mandela, from Bing Crosby to Jacob Bronowski, these are some of the finest moments in the ±«Óãtv archive. And worth watching simply for the frocks.
