RELAX WITH OUR ENTERTAINMENT PICKS

Film
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (12A)

Fisheries expert (and one of our faves) Ewan McGregor is asked by the gorgeous Emily Blunt to help realise a sheik’s dream of bringing the sport of salmon fishing to his people – who live in a desert. Uplifting and funny, this is a great film to unwind with. And it was partly filmed in the Essentials offices!



TV
Louis Theroux – Extreme Love, Thursday 9pm, BBC Two

Nothing says guaranteed laid-back entertainment like a Louis Theroux programme, so why not stick the kettle on and give his new series a try? In this programme, Louis visits one of the best schools for autism in America and meets some truly incredible kids. And we admit, our little crush on Louis makes us feel 17 again!
