Grayson Perry Art Club

I concur with all the above posts.

A lovely man and his wife.

You hit the nail on the head there JessK. He exudes empathy even on screen. Please Channel 4, give us some more!

A really lovely programme that has the feel good factor. I too hope that the programme is continued in some way. Grayson is down to earth and supportive to the members of the public he spoke to. He would make a wonderful Councillor and a great teacher.

What a breath of fresh air this series has been. I've enjoyed every bit of it and have always liked Grayson and his lovely wife. It made a delightful change from all other programmes.

Brilliant programme and lovely that he is contacting general public as well as celebrities.

Well done to Channel 4. I find I watch this channel more and more (On Demand). About to start watching Crashing, mainly because Phoebe Waller-Bridge has written it and stars in it,

Never really liked him much and not arty but having watched his art club I totally agree. I think his wife is lovely. Such a loving couple.

I am not arty but enjoyed the programme too. Like the pots and thought it lovely to encourage people to send their pictures in. Almost inspired me to have a go.

I cant remember which channel this was on, but could someone please tell them to make this a permanent series, i.e. not just a Lockdown one? It was so wonderful..Grayson and Philippa are such lovely people and truly connected with their guests. It goes without saying that they are truly inspiring artists.
Wouldnt it be lovely if programmes like this kicked out the usual garbage we are obliged to switch off.

I agree; one of the best things to come out of lockdown. Did you see the young girl whose picture was chosen that hadn't painted since she was at school? Got me all emotional, that did. His wife has made several tv programmes, too. She's a psychologist or something like that. I think a lot of people have turned to painting as a means of coping with the pandemic.

Teddy Measles ???

Thoroughly enjoyed these programmes and feel sad that it's the last one next week. I admit to sobbing through part of last night's chatting. I enjoy looking at celebrity art and love the fact that Jenny Eclair has done art every single day since lockdown. Next week it's Liza Tarbuck - I think that will be an amusing one!

Completely agree with all the positive things written here and what a fabulous laugh he has!

Agree. He is a delightful man and his wife is lovely too.

Ok Gransnet... that was a mean trick. It disappeared completely, so I tried to remember what I had written. Now there are two ?

Oh yes absolutely the BEST thing on TV since lockdown began...Grayson Perry is fascinating and very talented. His other documentaries ‘All Man’ and ‘Rites of Passage’ were equally thought-provoking. This one was a fabulous mix of humour and great art (some very talented people out there!) I expected to be entertained and educated, but I hadn’t expected to be so moved. His relationship with Phillipa is wonderful.
Btw - Kevin is their cat?

Oh yes - absolutely the BEST THING on TV since lockdown began. I love Grayson Perry - fascinating and extremely talented. His previous documentaries, ‘All Man‘ and ‘Rites of Passage’ were equally thought-provoking, but this one filmed at his home using technology to engage the public was brilliant. A lovely mix of humour and art - there are some some very talented people out there! I didn’t expect to feel so moved though, his relationship with Philippa was lovely.

Enjoyed it. Looking forward to next week.

I watched it too and really enjoyed it. He and his wife came across as having a truly warm and supportive marriage.
There is so much more to him than just dressing up in women’s clothes. I shall certainly be watching again.

Brilliant programme. Very encouraging to have a go.

Previously I'd thought his wife must be a saint to put up with him, but in fact they have a lovely supportive relationship.

I thoroughly enjoyed it too. I felt I'd really like to go round and have a cup of tea with them.

His wife posted on twitter saying how she’d contacted their son to say that dad was on television. Zero interest??

I love his pots and would kill to own one.

I thought his wife seemed very intelligent, supportive and downright nice too. I too love anything Grayson does. Have his books and watched all his other programmes.

I was going to start a thread on this! I know very little about art, but I loved the programme. I also knew little about Grayson Perry, thought he just liked dressing up. I agree his relationship with his wife was endearing. I look forward to the rest of the series.

He's lovely isn't he. I've adored him for years. I love his mad creations and his sense of humour. I shall definitely watch this whole series.
