Anthony Wall Remembers Arena
When Anthony Wall, a young music journalist and radio trainee, joined the BBC Arena team in 1978, he had no idea what lasting impact this documentary arts strand would have on his life and career. \n\nUnder the guidance of series editor Alan Yentob and working alongside director Nigel Finch, films such as My Way, Desert Island Discs and The Private Life of the Ford Cortina would breathe new life into arts programming in the UK. \n\nAnthony looks back fondly on his time on Arena, from producer to series editor, and celebrates the films and people that made it groundbreaking, unmissable, unforgettable TV.
