SECRET SURREALIST: DESMOND MORRIS
| BBC4 10PM
Scientist Desmond Morris is best known as an authority on animal and human behaviour, but this documentary reveals an unexpected side to him: as an artist with a flair for surrealist painting. He works at night, between 10pm and 4am, because it allows him to escape into a dreamlike world without interruption – as he tries to make sense of an artistic drive that he doesn’t fully understand.
