I must find it on iPlayer.

In my personal pantheon, there are four great Englishmen of transcendent genius: William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and William Turner.

Turner is the greatest of all landscape artists and also the greatest impressionist - 50 years before the French started dabbling with impressionism.
