Her marriage to railroad tycoon George (Morgan Spector) remains under strain, while old-money stalwart Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) spots an opportunity to reclaim her place at the top.

Their lives take a dramatic turn when a mysterious comatose patient, known only as Anonymous, wakes up to reveal himself as Grinner McNair (Aidan Gillen), a long-lost gangster who claims to know where a stash of buried Celtic gold is hidden. With money and freedom on the line, the pair set off in search of the treasure, soon finding themselves pursued by dangerous criminals. Created by Stuart Carolan (*Love/Hate*) and Chris Addison (*Veep*), the series has a distinctly Irish sense of humour. *Visit* [BBC.CO.UK/IPLAYER](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0033t7f/tall-tales-and-murder) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Zv3e3jGAenpiMcR_O8W-SmhGhUA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Fthe-guilded-age.jpg) ](https://www.hbomax.com/gb/en) The Gilded Age ## THURSDAY ### Black Doves, Netflix Keira Knightley returns as Helen Webb, the government insider secretly passing classified information to the covert organisation known as the Black Doves. With her husband Wallace (Andrew Buchan) pursuing his political ambitions, Helen's dangerous double life becomes even more precarious when her handler, Mrs Reed (Sarah Lancashire), disappears amid an internal power struggle.

Inspired by an unfinished play by Federico García Lorca, it explores queer identity, desire and the ways history can bury personal truths. In 1932 Granada, a young man faces rejection from an exclusive club amid rumours about his sexuality; during the Spanish Civil War, a nationalist soldier forms a connection with a Republican prisoner; and in 2017, a queer historian uncovers family secrets through an unfinished manuscript. With Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close among its cast, the film spans generations to examine memory, art and the lives that history leaves out. *Visit* [PICTUREHOUSES.COM](https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00018749/la-bola-negra) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/3cznQJtfmkjwN1CUji1WTB8HOzA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Fblack-doves.jpg) ](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81682935) Black Doves ### I Play Rocky Before *Rocky* became one of cinema's most enduring underdog stories, Sylvester Stallone was a struggling actor with a script he refused to sell unless he could star in it himself. This biographical drama follows Stallone (played by Anthony Ippolito) as he writes the screenplay in just a few days, only to face studio executives who want an established star in the lead role. Despite being offered life-changing sums for the script, he holds his ground and bets on himself, fighting to bring the film to the screen on a limited budget. Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film also stars AnnaSophia Robb, Matt Dillon and Stephan James as Carl Weathers. *Visit* [PICTUREHOUSES.COM](https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00018697/i-play-rocky) ### Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint John Bradley (*Game of Thrones*) stars in this festive comedy-drama as Aubrey Flint, a reclusive painter with a deep dislike of Christmas.

Set shortly before Chile's 1973 coup, it follows two CIA operatives and veteran killers, Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell), who are sent from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief (Steve Buscemi). What should be a remote assignment becomes increasingly complicated when Chris connects with two rebellious local students, threatening to expose the tensions and secrets surrounding the men's work. Tom Waits and Parker Posey also feature in a cast led by McDonagh's trademark mix of sharp humour, moral ambiguity and simmering menace. *Visit* [PICTUREHOUSES.COM](https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00018626/wild-horse-nine) ### The Assassin, Prime Video Keeley Hawes returns as Julie Green, a former elite assassin whose hopes of leaving her dangerous past behind are derailed when her estranged son Edward (Freddie Highmore) finds himself in trouble.

Reunited, the pair head into Spain's criminal underworld, navigating corruption, high-speed pursuits and a new cast of dangerous adversaries.
