Nicholas Haslam
Clive Anderson is joined by the socialite and interior designer Nicky Haslam. In London in the fifties he was with Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Noel Coward and in New York in the sixties he socialised with Andy Warhol, Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. He's raised horses in Arizona and he's decorated for the stars in Los Angeles and London. And now he's written his autobiography ‘Redeeming Features’ published by Jonathan Cape.
Anthony Horowitz
Anthony Horowitz has not only coaxed teenage boys into reading with his phenomenally successful ‘Alex Rider’ and ‘Power of Five’ books but has a string of television credits including ‘Foyles War’, Poirrot and Midsomer Murders. His latest five part drama ‘Collision’ runs from Monday 9 to Friday 13 November at 21.00pm on ITV. And his new Alex Rider novel ‘Crocodile Tears’ is released on Thursday 12 November. Details of the accompanying ‘An Audience with Anthony Horowitz’ tour are on his website.
