A man named David Heathcote is billed as a design historian of all things Art Deco, and he hosts this four-episode series.
David Heathcote is a Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design and Illustration at the Liverpool School of Art and Design, Liverpool John Moores University.
Each program is about half an hour, and the selected areas of study are not the best examples, but they will serve as a teaching tool.
Heathcote visits Claridge’s, the swank Art Deco hotel in Mayfair, London, as well as the London Transport building.
He also takes in Casa del Rio, and the juiciest of all, the Orient Express train.
With long and flowing silver hair, Heathcote has a tendency not to look into the camera, which leads us to think he is talking to someone other than his TV audience.
We always want to explore other areas or spend more time in a certain place the host shows us, but we are at his peripatetic mercy.
He always moves on, blithely climbing staircase after staircase. Perhaps he just wants to show us the decorative element
