It's called Perspectives and its on around 10pm next Sunday on ITV starting with David Suchet.

Firstly I never knew he was a photographer, or that his Grandfather James Jarché was a famous fleet street photographer who took first pictures of Edward VIII and Wallace Simpson! Might be worth a watch!

he talked about his grandfather when he was on 'who do you think you are?'

thanks, should be interesting
 
Brilliant photographs from a byegone era - Choice viewing in Radio Times - even if it is on another channel.

Suchet's grandfather took a shot of the Prince of Wales and Wallace Simpson dining out in London - 18 months before the news of the relationship broke.

What would that have been worth in today's tabloid society?

watched last half hour, Impressed by the shots of Jimmy Jarce(?). Equally, that Poirot fella did well too.
 
Watching it now, very good. Worth a watch on iplayer if you missed it.
 
I watched it last night and enjoyed it. His grandfather took some cracking pictures and it was nice seeing them being recreated, especially when it involved people who knew those in the original pictures.
 
curses i missed this :( i'll have to check the itv player i think :)
 
Watched this and enjoyed it.
Never realised that it was his brother that done the news!
Quite enjoyed the moment in Wales when he met the old lady and she new the people in the pictures.
Be great to do something like that.
 
Just watched this, I can't help but really like David Suchet. I'm surprised Jarche isn't more widely known as he had some really iconic and great shots. Good to see him out with a Leica M3 as well.
 
Jarche does have two pages in the Life photography book as he worked for them at one point.
 
Found it fascinating, and after seeing his work feel like giving up.
 
Was a very good show liked it a lot. Does anyone know what lens was being used?
 
Could have been a 35mm as he had the Leica goggles on at some point, he may have had a 50mm on too for some shots. His shots were pretty good themselves, and Suchet seemed a real peoples person.
 
OK - I know it's sad - I've watched it 3 times now and thoroughly enjoyed it each time.

The way Suchet handles his Leica is a pleasure to see - he is at one with his camera and it clearly shows how his camera is part of his "seeing eye"

The photographs by his grandfather are simply superb and really capture the essence of his subjects at the time.

If you love good photography - catch it while you can - it's quality TV for a change
 
Saw it last night, been away all week. What a fantastic programme, the pictures were superb! Suchet appears a lovely guy having seen him a number of times in non acting programmes and also in real life. Appears to have a nice quality and personal warmth and I knew he already was a keen photographer. Although he was in an advantageous position having so many of those shoots set up, he still seems to have achieved some very nice shots although they didn't look as polished and sharp as those achieved by Jarche. The M3 was to die for, but few would understand the massive inconvenience of fiddling with removeable bottom plates, winding on, winding back, non-TTL, and if you have never used film, fixed ISO, 'white balance', etc. Thoroughly enjoyable.
 
The M3 was the camera of my dreams when I was in school. Suchet did an excellent program on the Orient Express with his photographs featuring in it.
