Picasso: The Beauty and the Beast

When Pablo Picasso died in 1973, the world mourned a superstar - a revolutionary creative powerhouse who repeatedly turned 20th century art on its head.

Now, 50 years since his death, a new three-part series lays bare the life and work of a man who was as much monster as genius and looks at his legacy: the suicides and betrayals alongside the stunning artworks that he left behind.

In this gripping new box-set series, Radio 1 presenter Sian Eleri investigates a seemingly ordinary farmhouse in north Wales which, in the late 1990s, became widely considered as one of the most haunted houses in Britain.

The story became the centre of a national media attention as the family who lived at the farm became ever more desperate in their search for answers. More than 300 apparently paranormal events were documented at the house in video footage, audio interviews, photos, and eye-witness accounts – all of which had been locked away, until now.

Reports ranged from words and pictures appearing and disappearing on the walls; objects moving around the house; and multiple witnesses reporting seeing a hooded figure and the ghost of a girl rumoured to be buried in the garden.

With exclusive access to the case archive and to those at the heart of the case, Sian sets out to uncover what really happened at Penyffordd Farm. Her starting position is one of scepticism but in a series of chilling and increasingly bizarre twists and turns, Sian is left questioning everything she thought she knew.
