Legend, Patrick deWitt, This Is England, Future Conditional, Drawing in Silver and Gold
The week's cultural highlights, including Tom Hardy playing both Kray twins in Legend, Patrick deWitt's new novel and This Is England '90 on Channel 4.
Tom Hardy plays both Reggie and Ronnie Kray in Legend, the latest film to deal with the east end gangster twins
Patrick deWitt's new novel Undermajordomo Minor is the follow-up to the Booker shortlisted The Sisters Brothers. It's a bizarre fable of sorts set in an unspecified country and time.
This is England '90 is the fourth part of Shane Meadows' partly-autobiographical series. From the initial film, it has become a successful TV series for Channel 4
Rob Brydon plays a long-suffering teacher in Tamsin Oglesby's Future Conditional at London's Old Vic Theatre. It deals with the sticky business of getting your child into a good secondary school.
Drawing in Silver and Gold at British Museum looks at the once-popular art of metalpoint, with works from Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Hans Holbein, Otto Dix, Holman Hunt and more.
