		Yentob was rewarded for his success in 1992 when he was promoted to Controller of BBC One, responsible for the output of the BBC's premier channel.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts features \| Take this man off the telly
		Alan Yentob is on a mission - to revolutionise arts on the BBC.
		So we saw Yentob at home, driving around wondering about the music his kids played on their personal stereos and, for the climax, taking them to see Eminem's rainswept concert, where he eventually managed to extract some autographs from the puzzled star.
		Yentob is a busy man, but he really should have made the trip to southern California, where the Watts Prophets and younger artists were left to talk among themselves.

	Too popular by half
		It is about to float Alan Yentob, a member of Gregory Dyke's bonus-rich directorate, as presenter of a "heavyweight" arts series designed to counter perceptions of dumbing down.
		Credible on paper: Yentob, recently appointed chairman of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, was once a respectable arts documentarist - before he joined the Birtian tendency and, as BBC1 controller, decimated arts broadcasting in both extent and content.
		Alan Yentob would have us believe that millions of viewers will rush from Rolf to the Tate.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts features \| Why Alan Yentob's Leonardo failed to nail the real Da Vinci
		But from the inventions re-created in Leonardo, Alan Yentob's three-part BBC1 blockbuster that concluded last night, the artist might easily have come up with the television: we saw the army puzzle over his tank, a couple of eccentrics try to fly, a diving suit, even a slightly pathetic robot.
		Yentob's programmes reflect current perceptions in dwelling on Leonardo the scientific genius, who was so far ahead of his time in anatomy, geology, flight.
		What concerns the artist first and foremost is the ability to invent, not to execute." Leonardo's drawings declare the freedom of the mind, and the right of the artist, previously a craftsman, to be regarded as a poet and intellectual.

		Another big subject Bowie talked to Yentob in the film was his new experimental approach to lyrics where he used Beat writer William S. Burrough’s cut-up style where Bowie put unrelated things and cut them up to make the stick to one whole subject.
		Yentob also goes further into Bowie’s fans that are very fanatic about the man. There’s fans who have shaved eyebrows or look like Ziggy Stardust and wear makeup.
		Bowie would later meet Yentob for a special BBC interview four years later in Berlin, Germany where Bowie described that period as the darkest period of his life while talking to Yentob about his new musical approach in minimalism with Brian Eno.

		A friend who takes television seriously, and thinks we print people are in a dying medium, challenged me the other day to say who Mr Alan Yentob was, and what he did.
		He could easily be a controversial French intellectual: the brutally polymathic neo-Marxist Alain Yentob, who has blown the Sorbonne wide open with his deconstruction of constructionism: Le Futur du Passe.
		Also, the way in which the last syllable of Mr Yentob's surname can be made to rhyme with 'slob' or 'yob' offers, when he puts on airs and graces, possibilities for low blows from those of us of a less edifying disposition.
