PICK OF THE WEEK SHARDLAKE Disney+

If you’ve read C.J. Sansom’s Tudor mysteries, prepare for a cleanerlooking Shardlake than you may expect. Arthur Hughes plays the hunchback barrister, while Anthony Boyle brims with menace as Barak, Cromwell’s thug – a man who will become Shardlake’s right-hand-man. Don’t miss a snarly Sean Bean, centre right with Hughes and Boyle, as Barak’s boss. From Wednesday
