Every bit as enthusiastic about theatres as he is about English country churches, Sir Donald Sinden is on fine form in Great West End Theatres, which kicks off tonight on Sky Arts 2. The 10-part series is directed by his son Marc, who says it has been "a labour of love for the family." It is produced by Marc's ex-wife Jo Gilbert, presented by his father, and his son Hal and daughter Bridie worked with the crew.
