Alan Bennett - Portrait Or Bust

'Alan Bennett's second collaboration with veteran BBC documentarist Jonathan Stedall was this delightful, typically idiosyncratic blend of philosophical reflection, autobiographical reminiscence and acute observation.

It was inspired by a 1993 National Portrait Gallery commission of a formal portrait of Bennett by the artist Tom Wood. Sitting in Wood's studio, Bennett muses on his attitude towards the process, and towards art in general, confessing at an early stage that he has always been somewhat puzzled by the medium.'
