Art, art, art, art, art… what the hell is it anyway? Well, School of Saatchi (BBC Two, Monday, 23 November, 9pm) seeks to explore the weird and expensive world of contemporary art through a nationwide search by Charles Saatchi.

He will select one artist to join his next major exhibition and offer them their own studio for three years.

We’ll also see a selection panel, consisting of brick faced artist Tracey Emin, critic and broadcaster Matthew Collings, art collector Frank Cohen and Barbican curator Kate Bush (no, not that one), whittling down thousands of applicants to 12 artists they think worthy of being seen by Saatchi.

Effectively, this is The Apprentice, only with less tangible skills.
