Across ten programmes and ten Philip Larkin poems, Simon Armitage, the Poet Laureate, finds out what happens when he revisits and unpicks Larkin's work in his centenary year.

Episode ten:
Simon Armitage explores Philip Larkin's 'The Whitsun Weddings' - considered by many to be the poem that best represents his unique talent.

In this programme Simon, and his fellow poets Daljit Nagra and Sin茅ad Morrissey celebrate Larkin's attention to detail - his particular gift for description, and consider whether the journey Larkin takes us on across the poem still resonates in 2022.
