Rhianna Dhillon and John Mullan review David Fincher's The Killer and a Fantasy exhibition

Rhianna Dhillon and John Mullan join Tom Sutcliffe to review David Fincher's new film, The Killer, and Fantasy: Realms of Imagination, a new exhibition at the British Library.

The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender, has been hailed as a return to tense and stylish form for the director David Fincher. Critics Rhianna Dhillon and John Mullan join Tom Sutcliffe to give their views on this new take on the assassin genre. 

They also venture into uncanny realms with a review of Fantasy: Realms of Imagination, a new exhibition at the British Library which charts tales of fairies, folklore and flights of fancy from Ancient Greece to the modern day. 

Comedian and gamer Ellie Gibson gives her round up of the cornucopia of new video games out this month, including the Playstation’s fastest ever seller Spider-Man 2 and family favourite Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe
