<i>Spectator</i>
«A lucid, supple and valuable analyst of many artistic genres and their varying different potential. Together his essays offer some intriguing generalisations about the making and methods of artists.»
<i>Economist</i>
«I think we owe more to Melvyn Bragg than to any, other single person when it comes to promoting arts and culture, and increasing our pleasure in them, it's always been pleasurable.»
P D James
«The programme remains without rival and a long time ago it rightly became an important contribution to the vibrancy of the country's culture.»
HRH Prince of Wales
«No television show in the last half century has done more for the arts than The South Bank Show.»
Andrew Lloyd Webber
«The beauty of The South Bank Show in its heyday was its eclectic mix of subjects: from the high priests and priestesses of modern art, the Francis Bacons and Germaine Greers, to popular entertainers such as Billy Connolly, Dolly Parton and Dusty Springfield.»
