The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Harriett Gilbert. Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes, is a work of fiction set in 2011 - narrated by Hitler. It has topped the bestseller lists in Germany for weeks. Is this clever satire or simple bad taste? Chinese art - art collectors from around the world recently attended a new show, Art 13, held in London. We spoke with influential dealers and Chinese artists about the international flow of work. A new exhibition, Alien Revolution, at the Royal Observatory in London looks at humanity's long-held fascination with visitors from outer space. How universal is it and what does it say about civilisation?
