Night Waves

Matthew Sweet talks to Russell T Davies, the television writer and producer credited with making family television cool again by reinvigorating Doctor Who for the 21st century. As he leaves British television for a career in Hollywood, he tells Matthew that Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent has proved that the best stories are now coming out of reality TV and that scriptwriters must rise to the challenge. Matthew talks to Thomas Edur and Agnes Oaks, the star partnership of English National Ballet, as they prepare for their final performance together and looks at other enduring partnerships across the arts. What is to be gained, or lost, in lifelong collaboration? And art historian Lynda Nead reviews the first major retrospective of the Pre-Raphaelite painter JW Waterhouse since the 1970s. One of the most successful and critically praised Victorian artists, his The Lady of Shalott has become an iconic image reproduced on countless posters and calendars.
