Nah, sorry. I only watched it by accident. I have asked the guy over at UKNova if he has that episode but he only has those first? two. Hopefully it will be repeated, and he'll upload it.

Cattelan is very secretive, and never does interviews. Instead, he hires people to do the interviews for him. So when the Art Safari guy learnt of the hired guy who was going to turn up, he decided to get someone to replace himself in the interview. He rented the old Saatchi gallery, and installed a large fridge in the middle of the space. The Cattelan replacement was led into the room, and was instructed to open the fridge. In the fridge was a little old lady, dressed as Betsy,  who proceeded to do the interview from there.

Tonight 10:35-11:40 BBC1:

Imagine...
Warhol: Denied

Alan Yentob goes to New York to investigate the perilous business of authenticating works by one of the most original and influential artists of the twentieth century, Andy Warhol. Those who both know and worked closely with Warhol give their insights into his unusual working methods, while others speak openly about the experience of having their investments turned into wallpaper overnight.

Channel 4, Tonight (tues 28th), 01:05  : Animate! TV

For anyone who's interested in arty animation, channel 4 are repeating their programme of all the six films from 2005's animate! scheme (it was originally shown in december, I think) on tuesday night.
There are some really good films this year, including 'Who I Am and What I Want' by David Shrigley & Chris Shepherd and 'Rabbit' by Run Wrake. It's well worth a look.
