I realised early in the latest run of The Culture Show that after the first show which was presented by Verity Sharp, the show was exclusively presented by a man and the vast majority of the reporters were men (I can only think of Miranda Sawyer and Clemency Burton-Hill for the distaff side) and that each week I kept hoping against hope that the The Culture Show might surprise me but no.

The majority of the artists featured were also men: Siri Hustvedt and Jenny Holzer notable exclusions.

I wonder if it's any coincidence that this series was generally pretty dull from my point of view.

What makes it more galling is that the editor and the executive producers of the show are women.
