Sunday was rather hectic, as always, made more so by the fact that I was trying to get everything finished by early evening so I could plonk myself in front of the TV and indulge in a whole night of Rolf Harris on BBC4.
It all started at 7pm with one of his 'Star Portraits' programmes, followed by 30 minutes of 'Rolf on Art' where he spotlighted Lowry and attempted to paint 'Going to the Match' using Lowry's techniques and palette.
The next hour was a programme entitled 'My Family at War' and since it wasn't really art related and started at 8pm, I generously handed over the TV remote so the boys could watch 'Top Gear'.
At 9pm 'The Queen' began, a whole hour of Rolf's experience including his live sessions with Her Majesty and all of the nerves, apprehensions and sleep depravation he suffered throughout this amazing honour. It was wonderful to see such emotions from someone so accomplished and experienced, this is what I love most about Rolf...he's very grounded.
The evening drew to a close with an interview by Mark Lawson and an episode of 'The Rolf Harris Show'.
What a night!
