The gallery has become the physical landscape of a night's television. All sources of natural light have been removed and numerous entertainment options pulse before the viewer.

Black Gold programmes include:

Gameshow: Jim Prince rides the Super Escalator.

Transport Cafe: A soap opera for older people.

Inside Colonel Parker: At home with Colonel Tom Parker, showman.

Jailbreak: Documentary on Charles Bronson, prisoner.

Press and Hold Birds: Wildlife.

Lancaster Fishmonger Complaint: Public access slot.

Snuff: By drowning.

Gacy: Straight to video monologue about the physical imitation of a serial killer.
