Presented by John Wilson. Writer Iain Sinclair assesses how the second series of the US TV drama Mad Men, about a New York advertising agency in the 1960s, compares with the first. Artists Jane and Louise Wilson discuss film director Stanley Kubrick's archive and how they used it to create their latest project, a short film called Unfolding the Aryan Papers. Novelist Ian Rankin and musician Danny Thompson pay their respects to the British singer-songwriter John Martyn. We also hear extracts from an interview by John Wilson recorded shortly before the recent death of the influential musician. Andew Collins reflects on screen portrayals of the artist/agent relationship, from The Girl Can't Help It to Jerry Maguire.
