The Arts on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Television - Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú TWO
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú
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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú
Proms.
Newsnight
Review continues to be the only weekly cultural review
programme on British analogue television and Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú TWO is the home
of the Booker Prize.
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú
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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú
TWO co-commissions arts output with Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú
TWO also works alongside Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 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¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Proms.
From
April, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú TWO will showcase the best of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú FOUR in a regular slot,
two nights a week.
