Jonathan Meades on modern TV: "I despise presenters as a breed"
The writer, journalist, film-maker (and TV presenter) talks to The Observer's Rachel Cooke about his near-thirty years in architecture documentaries, how he crafts his shows by linking abstract ideas and why presenters as personalities are an anathema to him.
Here Lies Jonathan Meades, a retrospective of Meades's work, is currently showing at the Whitechapel Gallery in London.
