Oceans Apart: Art and the Pacific with James Fox airs in the UK tonight

British art historian Dr James Fox, last seen on BBC 4 exploring Japanese art, is back in the Pacific. First off, he's looking at how the arrival of Europeans in Australia nearly 250 years ago almost destroyed what he describes as the oldest continuous artistic tradition in the world.

Manners McDade composer Jack Arnold composed the score for the BBC 4 series. Throughout the series, the art historian traces the effects of the West's contact with the peoples of the Pacific, beginning with the impact of the Aborigines of Captain Cook's arrival in Australia in 1770. He reveals how the indigenous people were almost destroyed by European colonisation, but held on to their art to survive, flourish and ultimately share their extraordinary culture with the world.

Jack Arnold is an RTS nominated film, television and theatre composer whose recent TV credits include Channel 4 comedy drama Loaded and RTÉ legal drama Striking Out. He is also the composer and musical director on feature film Wild Rose, which will premiere at the London Film Festival next month.
