One Pair of Eyes — Season 1, Episode 61: Mark Boxer: Half Way Mark

Episode synopsis

Mark Boxer is the resident cartoonist ('Marc') of The Times, and Associate Editor of the Sunday Times Magazine which he launched in 1962. At 41 he has achieved a degree of success which for many men would be the crowning point of a career. How can he continue the rest of his life without a sense of anticlimax? This question provides the theme of the programme. Boxer trains his fastidious and ironic gaze on himself. He recalls early successes and we see a typical Boxer day at present.
