Jonathan Meades :: In Search of Bohemia (1/3)

I love this man. He has taught me so much.

Peter Herbert Lucas married the Hon Barbara Mary Agar (nee Frankland ) in '44 ( Divorcing lord Normanton.) and they divorced in 1960. She only died in 2000 at 94. Her Daughter from her first marriage ( She had 3 ) is still alive Diana De Marco.

These people are all in Burkes peerage and the LG. If he wanted to know what really happend to Lucas I'm certain he could find out in a phone call.

Thnx fr this the picture is so cool. None of his work is on the web. Alas.

I can see where Russ is coming from, but the fun and braininess far outweigh any pomposity for me. For some reason, no one else can get genuinely personal, high-brow observation (with generous dollops of surrealism) on to national TV and I for one am grateful that Meades has managed such a long run of doing just that.

[RussMoxham]

He's a self-important twat.

[graceyomalley]

Mmm and so much more eloquent than you .

[RussMoxham]

He may be, but don't count on it without meeting me. I'm a professional translator, proofreader and editor. It's not very exciting but it does require linguistic competence. I would say that Meades is often more verbose than eloquent and in any case he remains a little too self-important as a narrator for my tastes.

@RussMoxham

Agreed about the last point. But never a twat. You defeat your own argument with a pointless ad hominem remark.

Thank you for the Meades once again. Great quality and its so good to catch these again. Love his judicious balance of visual puns and surrealism too.
