IN THE HEART OF THE SEA

(2015)

12 ◆ 10.40PM, bbc1 ★★★★

Ron Howard directs this true-ish historical seafaring tale, with an eye for the epic and all the gloss he is best-known for. Chris Hemsworth (below) tops a strong cast, which also includes Ben Whishaw.

THE ASSISTANT

power wielded by her unnamed boss.
