    Bob Dylan Night this sunday on bbc4

    Sunday 14 October on bbc4

    Arena: Dylan's Folk - the Pure, the Bad and the Holy
    9:00pm - 9:40pm
    Documentary about the American folk revival, the milieu from which the nascent Bob Dylan emerged in the early 1960s and whose crucible was the Newport folk festival. In 1963 it provided the perfect platform for Dylan, under the patronage of Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, to be acknowledged as the principal voice of folk music at the age of just 22. Other stars of the time such as Baez, Seeger, Peter Paul and Mary, Judy Collins, Muddy Waters and Mahalia Jackson are also featured.

    Arena: The Other Side of the Mirror - Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival
    9:40pm - 11:00pm
    Murray Lerner's documentary features Bob Dylan's performances at the Newport folk festival between 1963 and 1965 - the time when Dylan changed the music of the world and changed himself from the fresh-faced cherub singing Blowin' in the Wind to the rock 'n' roll shaman who blew pop music apart when he went electric.

    Dylan in the Madhouse
    11:00pm - 12:10am
    The story of the search for a remarkable piece of Bob Dylan archive. Remarkably, Dylan first visited Britain to take part in a BBC play. Enfant terrible TV director Philip Saville felt that he would be perfect for a high profile BBC drama Madhouse on Castle Street. Dylan sang four songs in the play, including his first ever broadcast of Blowin' in the Wind. Sadly, the BBC wiped the play in 1968.

    Festival!: a Film by Murray Lerner
    12:10am - 1:50am
    A cinematic synthesis of four Newport Folk Festivals of the 1960s in which the art of folk music is pictured in transition during its most crucial years. The festivals were hugely influential and the film records the pivotal moment when Bob Dylan 'went electric'. Other artists performing include Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Donovan and Pete Seeger. The film was originally released in cinemas in 1967 and has been restored under the supervision of director Murray
