TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Is there a work you would never sell?
Scully: Well, okay I got the perfect answer. It’s a painting by Pizarro and Pizarro live in South London near Crystal Palace. It’s a very high point, lot of impressionist live there and another movement in art, a name which I just forgot. And Pizarro painted a picture of Penge West Station. And Penge West Station was the station that I went to everyday when I went to work as s 15 year old apprentice and it was my ambition when I grew up to become a famous artist and buy that painting which I course never can but since you asked me hypothetical question, that’s the painting.
