Episode 1Mary Beard returns with a new series of the live arts and cultural debate programme to discuss the clash of generations. Boomers and millennials may be bitterly divided over pensions and house prices, but are the old and the young also waging a war in theatres, galleries and bookshops? And how do artists relate to generations that have gone before? Mary and her guests discuss Damien Hirst's latest show at Houghton Hall, as well as The Inheritance - a new play directed by Stephen Daldry about different generations of gay men in New York today. - Episode 2E2
Episode 2Mary Beard and her guests discuss the issue of taking offence.

Episode 4On this week's programme, host Mary Beard and her guests are discussing the British art scene outside the London bubble. Thirty years since the heyday of the YBAs, are artists being forced out of the capital due to high rents? Is this giving them more creative freedom?
