Thanks to the BBC for enlightening us to the vast collection of art and it's whereabouts. Hopefully this will encourage the institutions, charged with the care of this art, to display them so that we can see them. I especially enjoyed the 'Guides'. This subject would make a very stimulating programme. I would enjoy the views of poeple who love art but do not necessarily work in this field. Poeple susch as Frank Skinner, Monty Don or Matt Baker. Well done BBC.
