Feud 2: Capote vs. The Swans

Acclaimed writer Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) surrounded himself with a coterie of society's most elite women - rich, glamorous socialites who defined a bygone era of high society New York - whom he nicknamed "the swans."

Beautiful and distinguished, the group included grande dame Barbara "Babe" Paley (Naomi Watts), Slim Keith (Diane Lane), C.Z. Guest (Chloë Sevigny) and Lee Radziwill (Calista Flockhart).

Enchanted and captivated by these doyennes, Capote ingratiated himself into their lives, befriending them and becoming their confidante, only to ultimately betray them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalisation of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets.

When an excerpt from the book, Answered Prayers, Capote's planned magnum opus, was published in Esquire, it effectively destroyed his relationship with his swans, banished him from the high society he so loved and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.

The series also stars Demi Moore as Ann "Bang-Bang" Woodward, Molly Ringwald as Joanne Carson, Treat Williams as Bill Paley, Joe Mantello as Jack Dunphy and Russell Tovey as John O'Shea.

The Weakest Link Celebrity Specials 3

Presented by comedian Romesh Ranganathan, this gameshow sees nine contestants work together to answer questions and bank as much money as possible.

At the end of every round, contestants vote for the player they believe is letting the team down – and the weakest link is eliminated until just two contestants remain to battle it out in the final.

Fun, humorous and, at times, ruthless.

In the Season 3 premiere: Eight EastEnders cast members show off their general knowledge skills to win money for a chosen charity.

Each round, one player will be voted The Weakest Link by their fellow contestants and leave with nothing.

Who will bank up to £50,000 and who will do the Walk of Shame back to Albert Square?

The EastEnders contestants are: Natalie Cassidy, Kellie Bright, Brian Conley, Ross Boatman, Danielle Harold, Tony Clay, Lorraine Stanley and Delroy Atkinson.
