- The untold story of Britain's cross-dressing high society painter. Gluck was one of the British Establishment's go-to portrait painters of the 1930s. Her shows were attended by royalty, aristocrats and celebrities. She also dressed as a man and called her exhibitions 'one-man shows'. Her lovers were all women, including flower arranger to the stars Constance Spry, and Edith Heald, the ex-mistress of WB Yeats.
- What makes the Summer Exhibition an enduring fascination? The combination of ordinary Brits showing alongside the art world's most celebrated scions, the chance for emerging and established names to make a big splash and the opportunity to see and be seen at one of the social calendar's most spectacular shindigs. Presented by Kirsty Wark and Brenda Emmanus, the programme comes from the very glamorous private view and goes behind the scenes of the Academy in the run up to the opening - visiting artists studios, amateur artists and delving into the fascinating process of curating and hanging the world's largest open submission exhibition.
- John Stephen (1934-2004), the fashion designer, was "the King of Carnaby Street" in the 1960s, when his clothes, which were worn by members of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Bee Gees and the Kinks, created a revolution in men's fashion. In 1957, the Glaswegian-born Stephen set up his first shop at No 5 Carnaby Street. The rest is fashion and pop history.
- Artist George Underwood was a childhood friend of David Bowie. After Bowie recommended him to Marc Bolan, Underwood painted the cover of Tyrannosaurus Rex's debut album My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair - But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows. He went on to paint the cover of Bowie's self-titled 1969 album (reissued in 1972 as Space Oddity), and hand-tinted the photo on the sleeve of 1972's Hunky Dory. He reminisces about his work with the musical legends, and discusses his influences and approach to painting.
