7:30  At The Movies

On At The Movies, Simon Morris reviews the - follow me closely - sequel to the prequel to the Alien movies - Alien Covenant, and the story of the last Viceroy of India before independence, Viceroy's House.  Smaller, but rather more enjoyable, is a little Japanese film about family relations - After the Storm.
