Aquarius Season 2 Episodes

Episode 1

Christo/The Wildest Show on Earth: The Circus Hoffman

Humphrey Burton begins nine editions of what he calls "summer miscellany", where features from previous editions are repackaged and reshown, often thematically. Although the features are repeats, Humphey's introductions are all new.

Another look at a profile of Peter Hall, then on the eve of taking over as director of London's Royal Opera House.

Rodin at the Hayward

Henry Moore discusses the erotic art of Rodin.

Episode 7

Madame Tussaud/The Verdi Requiem Rehearsal/Death, Heaven and the Victorians/'Three Epitaphs'

John Wells gets repeated as another of his satirical characters - this time as a film director reporting from Cannes.

The last of the repeat run ends with a documentary on rehearsals for a stage show of "Hair" - where Aquarius also got its name and theme song.
