Interview with Melvyn Bragg who has presented the show since it started more than 30 years ago.

Melvyn talks about how they set about creating The South Bank Show and what sets it apart from other arts shows.

He also re-lives some of his memories of the various subjects and guests on the show - some more memorable than others for all sorts of reasons!

The interview is interspersed with exclusive footage from the earliest episodes.
