Miranda Sawyer writes in The Observer:
Back to Radio 4, where us grey-hairs should be, for a revealing documentary on Barney Bubbles, the legendary album sleeve artist. Presenter/producer Mark Hodkinson was excellent, sensitively interviewing Bubbles's sister Gill and son, asking the hard questions – "How did you feel immediately afterwards?": to Gill, on finding her brother dying – as well as keeping in telling detail. ("He looked like he came out of the ground," said Brian Griffin, a friend.) And I liked the blasts of music from Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, Nick Lowe, without the tedious "and that was…" back announcements. Lovely, careful, touching stuff.

Just listened on iplayer and quite enjoyed it, but strangely felt that I still knew nothing about the man by the end of the programme - what was really lacking though, being a radio programme, was the visual aspect - this, after all, being about a graphic designer. This is the sort of subject that is ripe for a one hour or even 90 minute BBC4 TV documentary.
