Modern Masters – Picasso

Alastair Sooke explores how Picasso changed the face of art and design

In a journey that takes him through Spain, France and the US, Alastair Sooke reveals how Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) managed to achieve the status of genius in the 20th century, as Â鶹Éç One's modern art series looking at some of the most notable and influential artists of our time continues.

In interviews with acclaimed contemporary artists as well as fashion commentators and architects, Alastair probes how this extraordinarily prolific artist changed the face of art and design.

Beginning with a bullfight in Picasso's native Spain, Alastair points out that the picador, who provokes the bull into reaction, provided the model for the young artist who wanted to goad the art world. Talking to Picasso's celebrated biographer, John Richardson, in New York, he gets a glimpse of some of the treasures of his private collection and, in doing so, discovers something of Picasso's early and prevailing fascinations along with bullfights: women and sex.

Moving on to Paris, Alastair visits the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre where Picasso lived and worked at the outset of his career. From here, Picasso explored a number of styles including the sombre, melancholic, expressionist Blue Period and his warmer, more optimistic Rose Period, through to the African–influenced style that saw the creation of his famous Les Demoiselles D'Avignon (1907), inspired by tribal masks.

Between 1909 and 1911, Picasso, along with his friend and fellow artist Georges Braque, invented Cubism, a style that saw them work in pared-down sombre colours and break perceived objects down in shimmering series of lines and angles. The influence of this fundamental challenge to perspective and the traditional representations of form rippled through fashion, design, film and architecture and continue to do so today.

Studying the Burgh Island Hotel in Devon, the London Metropolitan University building by Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Alastair considers the huge influence Cubism has had on the built environment.

Picasso discarded Cubism but continued to create potent images. Travelling to Madrid, Alastair comes face to face with Guernica, an anti-war painting as powerful and shocking today as it was then, and one which has spawned many further works of protest art. He reveals how, after this international success, Picasso went on to design the Dove of Peace that has subsequently become a motif for the Peace movement, most recently associated with President Barack Obama's election campaign.

The programme includes interviews with sculptor Anthony Caro and fashion commentator Scott Schuman. Alastair also tracks down model Lydia Corbett, now living and working in Devon, who became the inspiration for Picasso's famous Girl With A Pony Tail pictures when she was just 19, a look that Brigitte Bardot would go on to make famous.

Worried About The Boy

Sunday 16 May

9.00-10.30pm Â鶹Éç TWO (Schedule addition 5 May)

Worried About The Boy tells the story of a young Boy George who dreams of living a life filled with originality and passion, and of becoming a star in the Eighties fashion and pop music scene.

Growing up as a teenager, George O'Dowd realises he is not like other boys his own age. He is sharp-witted, independent-minded and has a passion for clothes and make-up.

Leaving the London suburbs for the smoke of the city he soon becomes a fixture at the infamous Blitz Club – the favourite haunt of those at the forefront of the New Romantic movement.

Nightclub pioneer and Visage front-man Steve Strange offers George a job as cloakroom attendant at the Blitz. There, he meets Kirk, lead singer of Theatre Of Hate and George's first true love, who inspires him to write his own music.

George approaches music impresario Malcolm McLaren, who agrees to give him the chance to be part of a band. Having failed to fit in with the other band members, he is approached by Mikey, who invites George to be the lead singer of a band he's setting up.

A chance meeting with Jon Moss leads to him joining the band as drummer – and to a short and passionate affair with George. Along with Roy Hay on guitar, the band is edging towards professionalism and Culture Club is complete.

Set at the heart of the changing music scene in the Eighties, Worried About The Boy is as much about Boy George's emotional development and constant search for love as it is about his ambition and career.

The drama reflects on an iconic and influential star and the cultural era he is synonymous with.

Talented newcomer Douglas Booth plays Boy George, Marc Warren (Hustle, Mutual Friends) plays nightclub pioneer and Visage front-man Steve Strange, Richard Madden (Hope Springs) plays Kirk, Mark Gatiss (The League Of Gentlemen, Crooked House) plays music impresario Malcolm McLaren, Dean Fagan plays Mikey, Mathew Horne (Gavin And Stacey, The Catherine Tate Show) plays Jon Moss and Jonny Burt (Fanny Hill, Casualty) plays Roy Hay.

Worried About The Boy is simulcast on the Â鶹Éç HD channel – the Â鶹Éç's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

WAGs, Kids And World Cup Dreams Ep 1/5

Sunday 16 May

9.00-10.00pm Â鶹Éç THREE

Imogen Thomas, Amii Grove, Elen Rivas, Ellie Darby and Chantelle Tagoe discover a different side to South Africa

Five WAGs – footballers' wives and girlfriends – leave their pampered lives behind to experience the reality of life behind the gloss of the World Cup by rolling up their sleeves to work in some of the poorest and most deprived neighbourhoods in the host nation, South Africa.

They see a completely different side to the glamorous South Africa their partners will see during the World Cup – a country facing problems with health, crime and severe poverty.

Chantelle Tagoe (Emile Heskey's partner), Ellie Darby (Matthew Upson's partner), Elen Rivas (Frank Lampard's ex-partner) and Amii Grove and Imogen Thomas, the ex-girlfriends of Jermaine Pennant and Jermain Defoe, are faced with the stark reality of the orphan crisis, HIV pandemic and social breakdown there.

Starting at the Baphumelele Children's Home in one of the most crime-ridden and dangerous shanty towns, the girls cover 16-hour shifts, caring for children who have been abandoned or abused and are HIV-positive.

Ellie and Imogen have the toughest task – working in the baby houses with 37 children needing round-the-clock attention. On the first day, Imogen is pushed to breaking point, especially as she is nursing a broken heart after her recent split from Defoe. When she sees a young boy brought in to the orphanage, Imogen says: "It just breaks my heart seeing that ... I think, what have they done to deserve this?"

Through the work with the orphans the girls begin to understand the scale of the country's huge problems. Mum-of-two Elen helps administer drugs to babies with HIV, as well as cook food for women dying of Aids. She, too, admits she is suffering from her split with Lampard.

Ellie is horrified when she leaves the relative safety of the orphanage to venture deep into the shanty town, Khayelitsha, to meet a family of three girls fending for themselves after losing their parents to Aids. "I just feel so guilty because there is so much we can do. I could feed that family. Matthew and I are in that position to feed them for the next 10 years – and more families. I just never believed that things were that bad."
