Alan has worked on two ITV documentaries with David Hockney in recent years:
`Hydes on Hockney` - a half- hour documentary featuring David`s work from his Bradford Art School days up to his studies of The Grand Canyon.
David discusses his work
`Hockney Paints The Stage` an hour documentary exploring David`s opera set designs.
In 2005 Alan again filmed with David at Salts Mill when David launched his latest series of watercolours of Yorkshire Landscapes. This film is yet to be completed, but it shows David talking about his love of Yorkshire and his method of employing a newly developed watercolour technique.
David chats with Robin Silver and Alan Hydes
