I'll never forget how Brian, as motoring writer for The London Evening Standard, covered the lauinch of the Renault 25. He hated it and spent the the whole double page spread article talking about his first romance with motoring in Paris. I'm still talking about it nearly 30 years later so there you go, proof if proof need be!
Recently finished both volumes of his autobiography insightful, hysterical, and left me wanting much more..these programs are both educational, enjoyable, and gives everyone a fully picture of the man..wonderful
I ve seen a ranking done by Sewell of the best works of sculpture in history,he put some british military sculptural monument as number 1. Above David,Apollo Belvedere,Laocoon and His Sons,Venus of Milo,Nike of Samothrace,The Thinker,Discobolus. Laughable really. Even if we consider sculptural monuments the Ara Pacis and Victor Emmanuel II monument in Rome are way superior to some obscure british stuff. Talk about jingoism...probably a cope strategy for the fact of british inferiority in the history of sculpture or painting
