Jonathan Meades talks to Mark Lawson

Recorded in 2006:

"It's as much music hall as it is lecture hall, the stuff I do, I think. I might want to be Geoffrey Hill, but part of me also wants to be Benny Hill. And it's not a question of pushing the Geoffrey out or pushing the Benny out, but of finding a way of combining them."

What I value in Meades is not any organised body of opinion, but his attitude
