Good evening, everyone,

and welcome to the second
of our Italian language classes

in which we'll be helping you
brush up your Italian.

Now, last week
we started at the beginning

and we learned the Italian
for "a spoon."

Now, I wonder how many of you
can remember what it was.

Not all at once.
Sit down, Mario. Giuseppe.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

Well done, Giuseppe.

Or, as the Italians would say:

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

Well, now, this week

we're going to learn
some useful phrases

to help us open a conversation
with an Italian.

Now, first of all,
try telling him where you come from.

For example, I would say:

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

I am an Englishman
from Gerrards Cross.

Shall we all try that together?

[ALL SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

Not too bad. Now let's try it
with somebody else.

Mr...?
Mariolini.

Mr. Mariolini.
And where are you from?

Napoli, signor.

You're Italian?
Si. Si, Si.

Well, in that case, you would say:

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

[MARIOLINI SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

[FRANCESCO SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

Yes?

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

He say, why must I say,
"I am Italian from Napoli"

when he lives in Milan?

Oh. Well, tell your friend

if he lives in Milan, he must say:

Hello, good evening, and welcome
to another edition of It's the Arts.

And we kick off tonight
with the cinema.

Good evening. One of the most prolific
of film producers of this age,

or indeed any age

is Sir Edward Ross

back in this country for the
first time for five years

to open a season of his works
at the National Film Theatre.

We are very fortunate to have him with
us here, in the studio, this evening.

Good evening.
Edward--

You don't mind if I call you Edward?
No, not at all.

It does worry some people. I don't know
why. Perhaps they're a little sensitive.

So I do take the precaution of asking
on these occasions.

No, no, no. That's fine.

So Edward's all right.
Splendid. Splendid.

I'm sorry to have brought it up, only.

No, no. Edward it is.

Well, thank you very much indeed
for being so helpful.

Only it's more
than my job's worth to--

Quite. Yes.
Makes it rather difficult

to establish a rapport,
to put the other person at their ease.

Quite.
Silly little point but it seems to matter.

Still, less said, the better.

Um, Ted,
when you first started in--

You don't mind if I call you Ted?
No, no, no.

No, no. Everyone calls me Ted.
Good, good.

It's shorter, isn't it?
Yes, yes.

Yes, and much less formal.
Yes, Ted, Edward, anything.

Splendid, splendid.
Incidentally, do call me Tom.

I don't want you playing around
with any of this "Thomas" nonsense.

Now, um,
where were we? Oh, yes.

Eddie-baby, when you first started--
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I don't like
being called "Eddie-baby."

I'm sorry?
I don't like being called "Eddie-baby."

Did I call you "Eddie-baby"?
Yes, you did.

Now, get on with it.

Don't think I called you "Eddie-baby."
You did call me "Eddie-baby."

Did I call him "Eddie-baby?"
MAN 1: Yes!

MAN 2: Yes.
MAN 3: No.

I didn't really call you
"Eddie-baby," did I, sweetie?

Don't call me sweetie.

Can I call you sugar plum?
No.

Pussycat?
No.

Angel drawers?
No, you may not.

Now get on with it.
Frank?

What?
Can I call you Frank?

Why Frank?
It's a nice name.

Robin Day's got a hedgehog
called Frank.

Now, Frank--
What's going on?

Frannie. Little Frannie.
Frannie Knickers.

No. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm off.
Frannie Knickers.

Um, tell us about your
latest film, Sir Edward.

What?
Tell us about your latest film,

if you'll be so kind,
Sir Edward.

None of this "pussycat"
nonsense?

Promise.
Please, Sir Edward.

My latest film?
Yes, Sir Edward.

Well, the idea, funnily enough,

came from an idea I had when
I first joined the industry in 1919.

Of course, in those days
I was only a tea boy.

Oh, shut up.

Sir Edward Ross.

Now, later in the program,
we will bring you

a unique event
in the world of modern art.

Pablo Picasso will be doing
a special painting for us

on this program, live,
on a bicycle.

This is the first time that Picasso
has painted while cycling.

But right now, it's time to look at
a man whose meteoric rise to fame--

[PIG SQUEALING]

[GUNSHOT]

[♪ ♪ ♪]

[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

Last week,
the Royal Festival Hall

saw the first performance
of a new symphony

by one of the world's
leading modern composers,

Arthur "Two Sheds"
Jackson.

Mr. Jackson--
Good evening.

May I just sidetrack you
for one moment, Mr. Jackson?

This, uh-- What shall I call it?

--Nickname of yours.

Oh, yes.
"Two Sheds."

Yes.
How did you come by it?

Well, I don't use it myself.

It's just a few of my friends
call me "Two Sheds."

I see. And do you,
in fact, have two sheds?

No. No, I have only one shed.
I've had one for some time.

But a few years ago, I said I was
thinking of getting another one,

and since then, some people
have called me "Two Sheds."

In spite of the fact
that you have only one?

Yes.
I see.

And are you thinking of
purchasing a second shed?

No.
To bring you in line with your epithet?

No.
I see, I see.

Well, let's return
to your symphony.

Now then, did you write
this symphony in the shed?

No.

Have you written any of your recent
works in this shed of yours?

No. It's just a perfectly
ordinary garden shed.

I see.

And you're thinking of buying
this second shed to write in.

No, no. Look. This shed business,
it doesn't really matter at all.

The sheds aren't important.

It's just a few friends
call me "Two Sheds,"

and that's all there is to it.

I wish you'd ask me about my music.
I'm a composer.

People always ask about the sheds.
They've got it out of proportion.

I'm fed up with the shed. I wish I'd
never got it in the first place.

I expect you're probably thinking
of selling one.

I will sell one.

Then you'd be
Arthur "No Sheds" Jackson.

Look, forget about the sheds.
They don't matter.

Mr. Jackson, I think, with respect, we
ought to talk about your symphony.

What?
Apparently, your symphony

was written for organ
and tympani.

What's that?
What's what?

It's a shed. Get it off.

All right. Right.

Now then, Mr. Jackson,
your symphony.

I understand that you used to
be interested in trainspotting.

What?

I understand that about 30 years ago, you
were extremely interested in trainspotting.

What's that got to do with
my bloody music?

Are you having any trouble from him?
Yes, a little.

Well, we interviewers are more than a
match for the likes of you, Two Sheds.

Yes, make yourself
scarce, Two Sheds.

This studio isn't big
enough for the three of us.

Get your own arts
program, you fairy.

Arthur "Two Sheds"
Jackson.

MICHAEL: Never mind, Timmy.
TIMMY: Michael, you're such a comfort.

Arthur "Two Sheds."

Jackson.

And now for more news
of the momentous artistic event

when Picasso is doing a specially
commissioned painting for us

whilst riding a bicycle.

Pablo Picasso,
the founder of modern art--

Without doubt,
the greatest abstract painter ever.

--For the first time
painting in motion.

But first, let's have a look
at the route he'll be taking.

Well, Picasso will be starting, David,
at Chichester here.

He'll then cycle on the A29
to Fontwell.

He'll then take the A272,

which will bring him onto the A3,
just north of Hindhead here.

From then on,
Pablo has a straight run on the A3

until he meets the South Circular
at Battersea here.

This is a truly
remarkable occasion

as it is the first time
that a modern artist of such stature

has taken the A272.

And it'll be very interesting
to see how he copes

with the heavy traffic
round Wisborough Green. Vicky.

Well, Picasso will be riding
his Viking Super Roadster

with drop handlebars
and dual-thread wheel rims.

And with his Wiley-Prat
20-1 synchro-mesh,

he should experience difficulties
on the road surfaces

they just don't get abroad. Mitzie.

Now, for the latest report
on Picasso's progress,

over to Reg Moss
on the Guildford bypass.

Well, there's no sign of
Picasso at the moment, David,

but he should be through here
at any moment.

However, I do have with me
Mr. Ron Geppo,

British cycling sprint champion and this
year's winner of the Derby-Doncaster rally.

Well, Reg, I think Pablo should be all
right, provided he doesn't attempt anything

on the monumental scale
of some of his earlier paintings,

like Guernica
or Les Demoiselles d'Avignon,

or even his later War and Peace mural for
the Temple of Peace chapel at Vallauris.

Because with this
strong headwind,

I don't think even Doug Timpson
of Manchester Harriers

could paint anything
on that kind of scale.

Well, thank you, Ron.

Well, there still seems
to be no sign of Picasso,

so I'll hand you back
to the studio.

Well, we've just heard that Picasso's
approaching the Tolworth roundabout on the A3,

so come in,
Sam Trench at Tolworth.

Something certainly is happening
here at Tolworth roundabout.

I can now see Picasso.

He's cycling towards the roundabout,
about 75, 50 yards away.

And I can now see his painting.
It's an abstract.

I can see some blue, some purple.
Some little, black oval shapes.

I think I can see--
That's not Picasso, that's Kandinsky.

Good Lord, you're right. It's Kandinsky.
Wassily Kandinsky.

And who's this here with him?
It's Braque.

Georges Braque, the cubist,

painting a bird in flight over a cornfield and
going very fast downhill towards Kingston.

And Piet Mondrian just behind.
Piet Mondrian, the neoplasticist.

Then a gap, then the main bunch.
Here they come.

Chagall, Max Ernst, Mirb, Dufy,
Ben Nicholson, Jackson Pollock

and Bernard Buffet, making a
break on the outside here.

Brancusi's going with him.
So is Gericault,

Ferdinand Leger, Delaunay,
de Kooning.

Kokoschka's dropping back
here by a little bit

and so is Paul Klee
dropping back a bit.

And right at the back of this group,
our very own Kurt Schwitters.

But as yet,
He's German.

Absolutely no sign
of Pablo Picasso.

And so, from Tolworth
roundabout, back to the studio.

Well, I think I can help you there.

We're getting reports in from the AA
that Picasso--

Picasso has fallen off.
He's fallen off his bicycle

on the B2127,
just outside Ewhurst

trying to get a shortcut to Dorking
via Gomslake and Peashall.

Well, Picasso is reported to be unhurt,
but the pig has a slight headache.

And on that note,
we must say good night to you.

Picasso has failed in his first bid
for international cycling fame.

So from all of us here at the
It's the Arts studio, it's good night.

Good night.
