The South Bank Show Revisited

THE SOUTH BANK SHOW REVISITED: ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER
Sunday 28 March 2010, 10.15PM on ITV1

_The South Bank Show Revisited_ season opens with Melvyn Bragg interviewing Andrew Lloyd Webber on Sunday 28 March 2010 on ITV1.

Melvyn Bragg says: “Last autumn Peter Fincham commissioned 10 final South Bank Show programmes which we’ve called _South Bank Show Revisited_. We’ll be going back to some of the artists we’ve worked with over the years and referring to those earlier films and re interviewing them about their current work. I hope that by looking at past work over 30 years and talking about where they are today, the artists will give us a unique perspective on their process and progress over several decades.”

Melvyn Bragg’s first programme in the series is with Andrew Lloyd Webber as he prepares for the opening of _Love Never Dies_ at the Adelphi Theatre. _Love Never Dies_ continues the story of ‘The Phantom’, who has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of Coney Island.

Over the years The South Bank Show has interviewed Andrew Lloyd Webber four times: in 1978 on Variations – which is also the theme music for _The South Bank Show_; in 1986 focusing on _The Phantom Of The Opera_; in 2000 looking at his work _The Beautiful Game_; and in 2003 discussing his love of art and his remarkable art collection, particularly his Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite works.

Meeting at The Adelphi Theatre, this film uses archive from the original _South Bank Shows_; and Melvyn and Andrew bring the world of his musicals up to date – and discuss his recent and highly successful foray into television talent shows.

Other films in _The South Bank Show Revisited_ season include: Billy Connolly, Ian McEwan, Ian McKellen, Stephen Sondheim, David Hockney, Judi Dench, Kiri Te Kanawa, Simon Rattle and a film on Arts film making to include interviews with Ken Russell, Tony Palmer, James Ivory and others.

_The South Bank Show Revisited_ – a final season to cherish.
