Grayson Perry; All Man

Tonight; Thursday 12 th May 10-00 pm Channel 4

I know of Grayson Perry, but not much about him apart from the obvious dressing up
By chance I watched his first programme about cage fighting and the decline of coal mining in the north east

He is presenting a short series of programmes on tough masculine environments, and I thought he was an excellent presenter - clear, confident, and he gained the respect of those around him

Worth watching

Re: Grayson Perry; All Man

Would have liked to see his viewpoint on Coal Mining in the North East. Certainly an eccentric character, but im not sure how engaging he would be.

Re: Grayson Perry; All Man

Bit too 'way out' for me I think.

Re: Grayson Perry; All Man

He delivered one of the Reith Lectures a while ago on R4. He did that very well too. For those who have an interest......

Re: Grayson Perry; All Man

Interesting that you have mentioned the sort of things I was thinking of when I started this thread - it was early in the morning!

Obviously he is an artist, but did not come across as too extreme , superfluous, or even effeminate
He seemed genuinely interested and concerned in the people he talked to, and held my attention.
He came across as being quite sensible and down to earth
I recommend that you watch it

Re: Grayson Perry; All Man

GP is such a nice man, I have seen him in various things on TV over the years. I will try to catch the rest of the programmes
