HBO: The One to Watch
February 9th, 2008 by Steve BowbrickStephen “The Office” Merchant is obviously a real telly enthusiast. Here he tells the story of edgy, 35 year-old American phenomenon HBO. Lots of excellent contributors and clips from all the top shows, especially from the last decade - and a show that handily defines Radio 2’s mission: unpretentious, grown-up factual programming with a current pop culture theme (MP3). Last year Merchant presented an equally good show about Seventies TV comedy landmark Taxi - for Radio 4 (MP3).
