I remember a long time ago I started watching this program and that's when I got interested in art. Later it became my hobby. Now I am a collector of landscape paintings, one of which I bought here www.vershinin.biz/nature-landscape-photography-fine-art-gallery/, and want to increase my collection. So I am very glad that the program exists again.

This is a brillliant and fascinating programme. I've studied art history and it's just so interesting.

I watched the first few episodes and found them really interesting. The one about Monet was exceptionally interesting. Will definitely watch the rest of the series.

Andrew Marr paints where I walk my dog everyday.

I have studied art history in the past and love it as a subject.

Anything like this is always worth a watch.

The first two episodes have been really good. I wasn't a fan of Constable but I really liked his quick sketches. Marr's interest shines through.

We went to an exhibition of Turners sketchbooks a few years ago. It was fascinating to realise that he travelled round the country doing small paintings and sketches of different places and then showed people his portfolio so they could commission a full size painting.

Thank you, I've put the date in the diary.

Friday evening, Channel 5, 9 pm., Great Paintings of the World with Andrew Marr is back again.
For some reason, this programme was pulled last year after a couple of episodes.
