Heavy is the head that wears the crown and heavier still is the hand that holds the parcel scanner. On this week's show we review Netflix' new historical epic 'The King' and grapple with the weighty Ken Loach socio-realist drama 'Sorry We Missed You'.

As ever, we also find time for all the latest film news, reviews and previews.
