Trivia

Originally announced as Saatchi's Best of British, and eventually aired as part of a BBC season on "Modern Beauty".

We know what you're thinking: Kate Bush as a judge? No, it isn't the singer (whose presence would made a strange kind of sense, actually - if only she wasn't almost as reclusive as Saatchi himself) but the art curator who at the time was Head of Galleries at the Barbican Centre.
