On Camera: Photographers at the BBC

Drawing on the BBC's rich archive, this programme reveals the working practices, lives and opinions of some of the greatest photographers of the last 60 years. From Norman Parkinson to David Bailey, Eve Arnold to Jane Bown, Henri Cartier-Bresson to Martin Parr, for decades the BBC has drawn our attention to the creators of what has become the most ubiquitous contemporary art form. Pioneering BBC programmes like Arena, Monitor and Omnibus have given unique insights into the careers of photography's leading practitioners. Through a selection of fascinating clips, this programme brings into focus the key genres - fashion, portraiture, documentary and landscape - and the characters behind the camera who have helped defined them. Music Played: Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Foot Tapper The Zombies - She's Not There Mohammed Rafi - Jaan Pehechan Ho Frank Sinatra and Count Basie and His Orchestra - My Kind of Girl
