Dr James Fox was under the age of 30 when he made this recent three part TV series for the BBC. Such a great lecturer in the history of art at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, his students secretly put forward his name to the BBC to be considered the next presenter of the BBC world renowned documentaries in art. He got the job. A marvelous story teller, Dr Fox takes an hour with each of three colours, gold, blue, and white. For those of us who work in gold, you will not want to miss the first programme. It delves deep into history, and he takes you around the world with a story that should not be missed.
So just Google the title here, and you will find the three videos on YouTube. Here is the first:

My college was just a few feet down the lane from his, but I would have to have waited there another 20 years for him just to be born, let along become a professor there.
Strangely, I get the feeling he is very much my senior, he is so good with his material, and has such an engaging and straightforward style.
