I'm Leslie Primo. I'm an art historian and lecturer, and I've always admired Turner not only for his outstanding art, but because he was an outsider who defied convention and changed the course of art history. I've come to the Royal Academy's beautiful Life Drawing room to. find out how, over the decades, BBC film makers have got to grips with Britain's most famous artist.

I'm going with van Goff. The first sighting of Vincent's work on the BBC was back in 1955. These are his paintings arriving for an exhibition in Manchester. Despite the terrifyingly casual handling, the paintings survived intact, and the public flocked to see them. Although the magic is a little bit lost in black and white.

Vincent's paintings really came alive on TV with. the arrival of colour. But what's striking is how even the earliest films are already. preoccupied with his tortured life. So, when we read of the great price that is paid for a van Gogh, or hear how much they mean to people to go to see them in the big exhibitions and galleries, or perhaps a reproduction of the Sunflowers, because it means much to them, we should remember that the real price of these paintings is the price of a life - the...

I've been Impressionist shopping and look what I've got. Impressionist umbrellas, Impressionist pen, Impressionist bag, Impressionist jigsaw, this fine Impressionist shirt. And, above all, Impressionist chocolates. Boxes and boxes of chocolates.
