In his breathtaking BBC series The Seven Ages of Britain, David Dimbleby uncovers the fascinating story of how British art reflects our history - from the traces of the earliest invaders through to 20th-century modernism.

At this fascinating event he will be joined by author and journalist Simon Jenkins to discuss how the beautiful and influential works of art explored on his journey are a mirror to the nation.

David Dimbleby is one of Britain’s best-known broadcasters and the host of Question Time. The Seven Ages of Britain follows on from the success of his previous two BBC One series, A Picture of Britain – tracing the history of landscape painting and How We Built Britain, a history of British architecture, one of the first arts programmes to reach 5 million viewers.
