We appear to have launched the Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource at just the right time as it seems to be a summer of Pre-Raphaelites on the BBC. The six-part drama Desperate Romantics began in July on BBC2 and it looks set to spark an interest in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Pre-Raphaelite art in a new audience.

There has also been a BBC4 three-part documentary about The Pre-Raphaelites, and a Woman’s Hour show on Radio 4. At the moment it is possible to view or listen to these programmes on BBC iPlayer. Do watch/listen if you are interested – don’t leave it too late or they will no longer be accessible online.
