This coming Saturday (28th October) the UK's BBC Two television show, Front Row (airing at 7:30pm), is being presented by Cambridge classicist Mary Beard. During the show, Mary will be speaking to David Gilmour about his recent film Live at Pompeii, which documents the first ever rock concert for an audience in the historic site, before David performs A Boat Lies Waiting, live in the studio.

Beard, the well-known Cambridge classicist, will visit The Roman Singularity exhibition at the Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, explore the work of architectural designer, Adam Nathaniel Furman - who has created a city of 3-D printed models celebrating Rome - and review Jean-René Lemione’s startling contemporary reimagining of Greek legend Medea, which has been translated to English and directed by Neil Bartlett, alongside the interview and performance by David.
