“There are plenty of artists who don't have exhibitions. There's plenty of art that's never seen. There is this powerful desire to just create something.”

What is happening to the BBC!

And now they WON'T air a documentary in which Sir David Attenborough speaks actual facts about the destruction of nature?
Go home, BBC. You're drunker than Phil Mitchell.
