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.
