The Doctor at London's Almeida Theatre is Robert Icke's latest production.

Brassic is a new TV series on Sky, co-created by This Is England鈥檚 Joe Gilgun and Bafta-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst. It's about a group of working-class friends in Lancashire finding ways to win at life

Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Adam Mars Jones, Dorian Lynskey and Kit Davis. The producer is Oliver Jones
