Time for our regular look at what TV’s on at the South Bank in London in March. The short answer is ‘not much’, bar a couple of iterations of Alice in Wonderland to coincide with Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, although for film lovers, there is a ‘blondes’ season, at least – be still my beating heart.

  • 9th/13th: Alice in Wonderland

    Directed by Jonathan Miller, and starring Wilfred Brambell, Alan Bennett and Michael Gough.
  • 11th/15th: The Wednesday Play: Alice
