Gerald Scarfe - bring back the news!

The Wind in the Willows, Count Duckula, The BFG and Dangermouse - Brian Cosgrove OBE talks to Gerald Scarfe about some of his amazing productions for children's television.

"When we're doing a show, we come up with a design, then sit down and talk about what the world is like. Next you bring in a writer, and then you get an actor in to voice the design, and the personality changes a little bit more." Brian Cosgrove talks to Gerald Scarfe about violence, children's tv, and the difference between the Cosgrove and the Scarfe way of seeing the world. A fascinating insight into two creative minds.

Brian Cosgrove OBE is a the BAFTA-winning director, producer and designer behind some of British television's favourite shows. Gerald Scarfe was a cartoonist at the Sunday Times for 50 years and worked with Pink Floyd on the design for The Wall.

The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde
