Dispatch: The war on British motorists

Potholes! The fight for low-traffic zones! Confusion over electric cars! In this issue of Dispatches, Dispatches say Britain’s roads are in crisis and it couldn’t come at a worse time for drivers.

Calvary (John Michael McDonagh, 2014)), 2.05pm, Sky Cinema Greats
If there’s any doubt that Brendan Gleeson is one of the great actors of our time, John Michael McDonagh’s 2014 drama will convince you. He stars as Father James, a small-town Irish priest who, during his confession, is secretly told that someone will “kill him within a week.” The man was raped by a priest as a boy and attempts to kill James in revenge. James grapples with the possibility of a death sentence while continuing his duties as a pastor. Gleeson oozes intelligence, compassion, and humor in a film filled with smart dialogue. Simon Wardell
The Sorcerers (Michael Reeves, 1967), 11:15pm, Legends XtrOne
One of only three films made by Witchfinder executive director Michael Reeves before his untimely death, this quirky, chilling effort contrasts the swinging Sixties generation with their more staid forebears, revealing that human nature can always be warped. Medical hypnotist Marcus (Boris Karloff) and his wife Estelle (Catherine Lacey) invent a machine that can control the minds of others and choose reckless young Mike (Ian Ogilvy) as their first test subject. They become vicarious thrill-seekers, fast and dizzying like a proto-being John Malkovich. South Wales
