Jonathan Meades :: Case of the Disappearing Architect (1/5)

He seems like a clone of Simon Schama.

Thankyou very much for posting these lost gems from a time when television was better that it is today. I particularly enjoyed the Pevsner episode, I recall Meades being moved to write a Telegraph article at the time, following the abusive attack on his hero.

What a long way television standards have fallen in ten years. Much appreciated.

This episode in under 2 years old. So there's hope. Surprised that he has written in/for The Telegraph, though he's reminiscent of an older version the cool prefect that they all wanted to be buggered by while they were at public school.

As a matter of fact, Meades was actually the Telegraph's restaurant critic for many years - his rotundity might suggest as much.

This was of course before the Telegraph itself dumbed down and sacked most of it's staff, being content now to lift all it's news from the Mail Online.

...ok never knew he moonlighted for The Telegraph, I was a fan of his food stuff in The Times, though.

Fine work Mr Meades. As always.

And surrealistic humor !
