The Landscape Channel #14 - 4 Hours of Art of Landscape

In the early 90's, Dave was living in a superb location overlooking an enormous area of southern France, on the flanks of the Pyrenees.

It began airing as an overnight programming block on Sky Channel in 1988 and ran until 1989. In 1990, Landscape provided Channel 4 with 200 hours of morning programming as The Art of Landscape.
