Photographing Africa tonight on BBC4 at 9.00 till 10.00 Heads UP:)
 
A fascinating programme. If there hadn't have been the photography element I just admit I probably wouldn't have watched it but have to say it was well worth it. I did feel the photographer, Harry Hook, missed a trick in using black backgrounds in most of his shots. When they were more "on location" style there was an environmental element that added to the impact. He had a really calm and friendly approach to the tribes people and was nice to see he didn't just go in firing the shutter at anything that moved.
 
I watched the Rankin doc 'shooting celebrities' after this, then the Bailey interview.

A great nights tv, all available on the iplayer.
