This week Sue Lawley's
castaway is Professor Sir Christopher Frayling the Rector of
the Royal College of Art and a champion of popular
culture.
He was born into an affluent family living in
London – his father Major Arthur Frayling - a successful
furrier and his mother was fascinated by the arts and cars –
she won the RAC Rally in 1952.
At six he was sent to
boarding school which he hated and it was there that he
developed his life long love of film acting and Design. He
studied History at Cambridge and did a doctorate on Jean
Jacques Rosseau and the French Revolution. He fought his
father’s ambitions for him to enter advertising and chose an
academic career path becoming a lecturer at the Universities
of Exeter and Bath in the seventies. At that time he
worked on the programme The World at War and he’s since become
an accomplished broadcaster known for his work on Radio 4. He
won an award at the New York Film and Television Festival for
a six part Channel 4 series about advertising called The
Art of Persuasion.
He’s published thirteen books
to date with an eclectic range of titles from Spaghetti
Westerns to The Face of Tutankhamun and Clint
Eastwood – a critical biography. As well as being Rector
of the Royal College of Art, Sir Christopher is also the
longest serving Trustee of the Victoria and Albert Museum and
is Chairman of the Design Council.
