Media Talk podcast: BBC2 welcomes back Modern Times

John Plunkett is joined this week by Media Guardian acting editor Jason Deans and Broadcast editor Lisa Campbell. Together they dissect the week's media stories, checking their privileges as they go.

Single documentaries strand Modern Times is coming back, thanks to BBC2 controller Janice Hadlow – but will the budgets and quality match up to the original?

In other news. Channel 4 releases a new second-screen app, there's more fallout at the BBC from the Digital Media Initiative fiasco and Jemima Kiss has a reality check for culture secretary Maria Miller, over plans to curb the sharing of illicit content on the web.

Plus Rebecca Nicholson recovers from this week's Games of Thrones to review ITV1's Love and Marriage and new import The Americans.
