Presented by Andrew Marr. Last night he talked about Fantasy. GRR Martin, who wrote the novels which later produced Game of Thrones, inspired by a visit to the UK and Hadrian's Wall. The programme featured Tolkein, GRR Martin, CS Lewis, Alan Garner, Ursula le Guin, JK Rowling, Phillip Pullman and Neil Gaiman.

The key writers in this genre are deadly serious, he said. They offer a new view of our own times.

'Could mere escapism capture so much of the writing world? It turns out, what Fantasy is really good at, is allowing us to look at our own world in a new and surprising way, through a twisted Gothic lens.'

Thanks for letting us know. I always miss good TV. :( Teaching doesn't even stop at half term now. At night I am once again in the classroom teaching spectral versions of my students - only these versions are positively demonic! :D

Eldritch goblin students? Stand for no nonsense! Show them who's boss! :) I used to teach 16-18 year olds. Goblins! I did like them but still - they WERE goblins :)

You can watch it on that red link for the time being, legally if you have a TV licence already.
