The Tom Hardy Guide To Being A Gangster

Martina Cole's The Take
Sky 1, 9pm

Sky 1's shoddy ganster melodrama continues tonight and Tom Hardy – of RocknRolla, Bronson and baddie-in-an-old-school-Star-Trek fame – can be expected to trot out a few violent episodes that go like a Nirvana song: quiet for a bit then suddenly aggressively loud. If there's an ad break coming up and he hasn't stuck a bottle in anyone's neck, trowelled out a relative's eye or raped his best mate's wife yet, you'd better brace yourself. And, for the benefit of any characters dealing with him, here's the checklist of indicators that he's about to explode...

1. Eyes go extremely slitty
2. Playing with his watch
3. Talking very, very quietly
4. Smiling way too much
5. Involuntary twitches (jaw or fingers)
6. Saying, "Right" a lot
7. Chewing gum faster
8. Going to hug you
