Television highlights on the other side of the ocean
BBC3 to screen Tracey Emin film: "Controversial British artist Tracey Emin has teamed up with prolific director Michael Winterbottom to make her first feature-length film, an autobiographical improvised drama about her home town of Margate for BBC3... Emin, once described by David Bowie as 'William Blake as a woman, written by Mike Leigh', shot the film earlier this year."
The article also goes on to note that BBC3 is also planning "a live flash-mob opera event at a major railway station":
"Flashmob - the Opera will feature well known arias from operas such as Madam Butterfly, Don Giovanni and La Traviata and weave them into a story about a man who goes to the station to get a train to a football match after falling out with his fiance. But she also turns up at the station to meet her lover."
American television is a parched desert in comparison.
