Based on John Le Carré’s novel of the same name, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is director Tomas Alfredson’s latest adaptation of a well-known book. In 2008, the Swede’s version of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s vampire horror story Let the Right One In achieved critical acclaim around the world, and with Tinker Tailor he seems certain to repeat that success. Alfredson is a master of context, his attention to detail effortlessly capturing the Zeitgeist. In Let the Right One In, he depicted the eerie isolation of a Stockholm suburb in the 1980s; in Tinker Tailor, he portrays the tiredness of 1970s Britain. This is a time of grey suits, typewriters and fallen empires, a world gripped by Cold War paranoia and political intrigue.

Moving on up from their humble small screen beginnings, the motley foursome from the hit Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners have moved on up to the big screen with The Inbetweeners Movie. The film version sees Will (Simon Bird), Jay (James Buckley), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Simon (Joe Thomas) heading to Malia for a traditional lads holiday at one of the top Greek party destinations. What follows is a plotline unlikely to please the Greek tourist board but for the Inbetweeners boys, it’s awkward business as usual.
