A dual turn from Tom Hardy is among the movies on TV tonight

The film sees Hardy play both of the Kray twins.

It is Saturday. In my view, that's a great day to check out some movies and TV shows. JOE recommended a few particular ones to watch over the entire weekend in the video below. https://twitter.com/JOEdotie/status/1542882696627724289 However, for more options, here are the films on telly this Saturday evening (2 July).

I Know What You Did Last Summer - MTV - 10pm

While watchable, this hit slasher is not as great as its title.

Thirteen Days - RTÉ One - 11.15pm

Kevin Costner stars in this well-reviewed historical political thriller dramatising the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Legend - BBC One - 11.20pm

Based on true events, our pick for tonight tells the story of twin brothers and notorious gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray (both played by Tom Hardy) who operated in London from the late 1950s into the '60s. Despite recounting the tale of the Krays in a fairly formulaic way and often stumbling into gangster drama cliches, Hardy's mesmerising double performance and a very stylish recreation of the London of the era makes Legend quite watchable.
