9pm, Sky Atlantic
Matt Smith is at his most grotesque in an unsettling drama based on Nick Cave’s scandalous novel of the same name (Cave also executive produces). It’s set in Brighton in 2003, with Smith playing Bunny Munro – a hedonistic sex-addict salesman who manages to charm many around him while enraging others. After the death of his wife, Libby (Sarah Greene), he takes in his sweet, curious nine-year-old kid Bunny Jr (Rafael Mathé). But when social services call in to a flat littered with drugs, booze and cigarettes – plus a naked woman in the hallway – Bunny legs it with his son and together they embark on a wild road trip across southern England.
