Cartoonist Scarfe and his 'Monsters'

Gerald Scarfe's distinctive style of political satire has graced the pages of national newspapers and magazines for five decades.

With a new book of his best work just published, Gerald Scarfe spoke to Radio 4's Front Row about his inspiration - and his personal feelings towards the men and women who feature in his drawings.
