The disconcerting three-part drama concludes tonight, with the Duke of Argyll\u2019s campaign of cruelty escalating to new heights while Margaret struggles as the law, the press, and society seems to be against her. We finally get to see the notorious and oft-mentioned trial begin tonight, and it\u2019s as nasty as you\u2019d expect \u2013 brought to life by terrific performances from Claire Foy and Paul Bettany.<\/p>\n

This surreal and wholly original take on true crime ends tonight, and if this concluding episode is anything like the first three we should be in store for a rather unique ending \u2013 quite the feat when we know what happened in real life. National treasures Olivia Colman and David Thewlis star here as Susan and Christopher Edwards<\/a>, who were found guilty of murdering her parents and burying them in their own back garden.<\/p>\n
However Susan\u2019s love of cinema means the story so far has been told through many homages to classic Hollywood \u2013 with leads to an awful lot of commentary about how true-crime series are created and presented.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve had a few mince pies too many or over-indulged on the mulled wine, this is the perfect low-effort film to throw on while you nurse your food hangover. Like an amped-up version of Jaws that is definitely not afraid to show the shark, The Meg stars Jason Statham as rescue diver Jonas Taylor, who agrees to help a team of researchers fight an ancient Megaladon.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Jason Statham versus a giant prehistoric shark \u2013 does any more need to be said?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve missed Mock the Week this year, this is the perfect time to jump back in as regulars Dara O\u2019Briain and Hugh Dennis recap the last twelve months. It\u2019s certainly not been the easiest of years, but O\u2019Briain, Dennis and their revolving door of panel guests always manage to find the funny side \u2013 and we get a special look at the outtakes which are often funnier than the jokes.<\/p>\n
