Simon Schama Remembers... Landscape and Memory
Sir Simon Schama's first foray into TV presenting, Landscape and Memory, presented a unique take on the links between nature and art. The series was based on his 1995 book, about which he had said, "If ever there was a book that was impossible to televise, this would be it." He tells us how he was persuaded otherwise. Simon explains the background to this thought-provoking series, in which each episode had an aspect of nature – forests, seas, rivers and mountains – as its theme. We discover how it came to combine the imaginative use of a studio, stunning landscape shots and fascinating archive. Join us as we learn how a baby crocodile and some Nile toads helped explain why a mosaic of the flooded Nile ended up in Rome, how Simon discovered Tom Waits and how his love of film helped inspire some of the series' standout moments.
