Sunday Arts is an Art Show on the ABC hosted by Michael Veitch, who you would think might be an odd choice as the host of an Arts show, but he is actually very good. Sunday Arts covers all sorts of topics from Graf to High End Couture, and you don’t have to be Prince Namby Pamby of Nettlebury Hill to enjoy this show.

When:
Sundays
5pm ABC TV
