1. The Late Show with David Letterman (Ten, weekdays 11.15pm) would be a feather in Ten’s cap if the channel didn’t keep switching episodes.

Brando must be fl avour of the week as the director’s cut known as Apocalypse Now Redux screens on Ten (Sunday, 10.50pm) – all three and 1 2 3 half hours of it. The horror, the horror…
