That's How It Happened

Prepare to set aside 1340 minutes (approx) of your weekend to worship Jonathan Meades. There's no-one on television to match Meades for wit, visual inventiveness, and sesquipedalia. YouTube user MeadesShrine is collecting archive footage of Meades in action, 10 minutes at a time, to make up for a complete lack of DVDs from the BBC. As he puts it:

"if you are going to get caught up in any kind of cult of personality, then you better make sure it's a good 'un. lets congregate and genuflect here for a while."

There's hours of amazing viewing to enjoy. There is a slight risk of heligobalism, but that's just one of the many snobbish guilty pleasures of Meades. (via nixta)
