Another Year, 1am, Film4
It’s a rarity to find a happy couple in a Mike Leigh film, but this 2010 drama gives us a good ’un. Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen’s Tom and Gerri are the engineering geologist and NHS counsellor round whom revolve the unfulfilled lives of their depressed, lonely single friends Mary (Lesley Manville) and Ken (Peter Wight). Manville brings emotional fragility to the otherwise irritating, selfish Mary, stealing every scene she’s in as the seasons turn. This week, Leigh fans can also catch Happy-Go-Lucky on Wednesday and Mr Turner on Thursday. Simon Wardell
