With Mark Lawson.

American painter Don Bachardy remembers his partner the writer Christopher Isherwood, and meetings with Beckett, Brando and Bacon. A new volume of Isherwood's Diaries edited by Katherine Bucknell details life in the sixties and the impact of Cold War anxiety, the space race, Vietnam and the Summer of Love.

Increasingly, ideas conceived for the internet are providing material for traditional media. With writer and TV producer Dan Hine, Emily Bell, Director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, and comedian Olly Mann, whose podcasts have been developed into a book, Mark Lawson discusses the ever evolving relationship between old and new media.

Tonight sees the return of The Apprentice. As the high-profile programme reaches its sixth series, Lord Sugar - who's just published his autobiography - discusses the nuts and bolts of the show, from selecting candidates to what happens to the losers after the cameras stop filming.
