He left it late but Matt Smith just delivered one of the TV performances of the year. As the titular antihero in The Death Of Bunny Munro (Sky Atlantic), Smith scorches the screen with his cocky swagger and roguish charisma, thinly papering over the pain that lies beneath.

The camera lingers almost as much on his bare backside, which is seen so much that it deserves its own appearance fees. Well, as Bunny boasts: "Mine is a truly magnificent arse.”
