The MeadesShrine, collecting all those wonderful Jonathan Meades documentaries about curious provincial architecture and grandiose foreign monstrosities. He’s still around, and currently has a regular column which enlivens the worthy-but-dull magazine The Critic. Of course, he’s too dangerous to allow on the telly these days. But at least he can be enjoyed at the MeadesShrine and on YouTube.
His new 1988-2020 writing collection is out as as the book Pedro and Ricky Come Again, which is a shelf-companion to his previous essay and article collection Peter Knows What Dick Likes (sadly not in ebook).
