S2·E4 The World According to Parr
Aired December 3, 2003
Synopsis
Martin Parr is widely considered to be the most influential photographer of his generation. His work portrays the British way of life in all its idiosyncratic detail - Women’s Institutes, bird-watching, and fish and chips - iconic images that make up a retrospective exhibition currently on a world tour.
Alan Yentob takes Parr back to his suburban past to reveal the root of his inspiration.
