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. ref: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2012/jan/08/colin-patterson-zane-lowe-barney-bubbles

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.
