Our TV movie pick for tonight (Tuesday, 12 March) is Little Joe, the acclaimed 2019 sci-fi film starring Emily Beecham (1899) and Ben Whishaw (Paddington).
Beecham plays Alice, a single mother and plant breeder who, via genetic engineering, creates 'Little Joe' - a plant that gives its caretakers joy.
Soon, however, the single mother grows to fear the flowers as they appear to spark more sinister changes in the people and animals they come into contact with.
Also featuring amongst its cast Irish actor David Wilmot (Calvary) and Kerry Fox (Shallow Grave), Little Joe premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to positive notices - with Beecham going on to win the Best Actress award at the event.
The movie has also been praised for its sleek, clinical production design and its creepy, unsettling tone.
Little Joe is airing on TV tonight on BBC Two at 11.15pm. It is also available to rent on Apple TV and Curzon.
