- Title: Lost Lawrence
- Date: 12th March 1991
- Summary: IN 1929, THE PAINTINGS OF D H LAWRENCE, ON EXHIBITION IN A LONDON GALLERY, WERE SEIZED BY THE POLICE. THE PAINTINGS WERE PUT ON TRIAL AND THEY WERE DECLARED TO BE OBSCENE. THE MAGISTRATE WAS ONLY PERSUADED FROM BURNING THE PAINTINGS BY A PROMISE THAT THEY WOULD ALL GO INTO EXILE AND NEVER RETURN TO BRITAIN. IN THIS PROGRAMME, WE GO IN SEARCH OF LAWRENCE'S PAINTINGS - MANY OF WHICH NOW HANG IN A HOTEL IN THE SMALL TOWN OF TAOS, IN NEW MEXICO. LAWRENCE'S ASHES ARE ALSO BURIED IN TAOS IN A TEMPLE HIS WIFE BUILT TO HIS MEMORY. WE WILL EXAMINE THE CURRENT STATE OF LAWRENCE'S LOST PAINTINGS AND EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME OF THEM FINALLY RETURNING TO BRITAIN.
