Hateful Eight, Guys and Dolls, Maigret, Crime Museum, Jericho
The week's cultural highlights, including Tarantino's Hateful Eight, Guys and Dolls at London's Savoy Theatre, George Simenon's Maigret novels and ITV's historical drama Jericho.
Quentin Tarantino's film Hateful Eight - the work of a genius at the top of his game or more of the same?
The Chichester Festival Theatre's revival of Guys and Dolls has transferred to London's Savoy Theatre
George Simenon wrote 75 Maigret novels and they're all being republished - how well do they stand up nowadays?
The Metropolitan Police's Crime Museum is usually closed to the public but The Museum of London has a temporary exhibition showing 600 of the 2000 items it contains; fascinating and gruesome certainly... but is it distasteful?
ITV's historical drama Jericho looks at the lives of the Victorian navvies who built the great engineering edifices of the age
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are David Schneider, Sophie Hannah and Dreda Say Mitchell. The producer is Oliver Jones.
