EASTENDERS

- With STUART CHANDLER

Ruby really is pregnant, but that doesn’t mean her troubles are over as Martin is asking questions about her 12-week scan – and she knows the dates won’t add up. After booking a private appointmen­t, Ruby discovers she’s only seven weeks pregnant. Blissfully unaware of his wife’s lies, Martin books them a relaxing trip for Easter, but when Ruby suggests taking the kids as well, Stacey is annoyed and another row breaks out. Ruby leaves abruptly after discoverin­g she’s bleeding, but then the following day, the former friends start arguing again.

Kevin MacDonald, the Oscarwinni­ng film-maker behind One Day in September, Touching the Void and The Last King of Scotland, is the executive producer of this documentar­y about Edson Arantes do Nascimento – the man known throughout the world as, simply, Pele. For many, he’s the greatest footballer who ever lived, a legend in his own lifetime who is the only player to have won the World Cup three times – with Brazil in 1958, 1962 and 1970. He’s also his country’s leading goalscorer, having hit the back of the net 77 times in 92 matches. Here, archive footage, alongside interviews with the likes of Zagallo, Jairzinho and Rivellino, paint a vivid portrait of Pele, both as a man and a sports star, paying particular attention to a 12-year spell in which he went from a burgeoning talent to a national hero, just as Brazil was going through a turbulent time in its history.
