The Post (2017) Film4, 6.45pm ★★★★★

The year is 1971, and we’re spying on then-president Richard Nixon in this tremendous thriller from Steven Spielberg, about media holding a corrupt administration to account. Tom Hanks takes on the role of Ben Bradlee, the editor of The Washington Post, while Meryl Streep is publisher Katharine Graham, whose life on the genteel DC social circuit is worlds away from the newsroom’s clatter.
