Linford

Richard Eyre Remembers Country

Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate and the Dark Side of the Internet
9pm, Sky Documentaries
Tate is a man who needs no more publicity, but this documentary focuses on how he could have risen to such prominence, with contributions from critics and people who know him. Social media and its algorithms allowed vile and misogynistic views to circulate widely, with profits made along the way. Hannah Verdier
Film choice
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Guy Ritchie, 2024), Prime Video
Guy Ritchie’s second world war film is a nostalgic throwback to the likes of The Guns of Navarone, an action-packed adventure featuring stiff-upper-lip Brits and sadistic Nazis. Based on a real-life off-the-books mission commissioned by Winston Churchill, the film’s USP is that one of the naval intelligence officers involved was Ian Fleming; the leader of the top-secret attempt to sabotage U-boats on the west African coast, Gus March-Phillipps, was supposedly a role model for 007. Henry Cavill plays March-Phillipps with a Bondian insouciance amid the gunfire, explosions and inevitable mishaps. Simon Wardell
