Watched until the last part. Seen it before on BBC4 but it's still brilliant. Anyone who hasn't seen it and likes Eliot go back to the first part and watch it all. Excellent.
His poetry was very inaccessible. thank goodness for poets like Heaney, Hughes, Larkin who you don't have to read text books of literary criticism to comphrehend

thank you for posting this. Very moving. God bless Valerie. God bless Tom and also first wife Vivienne -- may they rest in peace amen
A great poet, and a very lucky man to have met such a wonderful woman later in life. They obviously loved each other.
This is an excellent documentary on TS Eliot, probably the greatest poet of the twentieth century.
Thanks for all the inspiration, Tom. Thanks for shining the light to make the path more clear. Shantih.
THE LINES ACCOMPANIED BY BEETHOVEN'S STRING QUARTET....IS MORE THAN A MOVING EXPERIENCE.
Thanks very much for uploading this. I really enjoyed it.
Just brilliant !11

“In my beginning is my end.”
Wonderful 🌬
Thanks for this. I knew so little and now I know a little more.
Whew, Thanks.
Interesting to see Virginia Woolf among the portraits on his mantlepiece.
She's a great writer.
What is the song/tune at the end?
Wagner

Like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent.
So, art needs to be simplistic to be appreciable? It's people like you that have helped make modern poetry as watered-down as it is today. Thanks.
