This week, Charlotte is setting the Film Club theme to bleak futures, starting us off today with Will Smith thriller 'I Am Legend'. Brilliant scientist, Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the sole-survivor of a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants. He lives alone in New York city,  hoping to find others alive like him, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him in the shadows.  

Charlotte concludes a week of 'Fassbender and Vikander' Films with 2011 Romance Drama, and adaptation of a classic tale, "Jane Eyre". Orphaned child Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska) has a rough life in which she is abused by her Aunt, and further abused as she goes into education. Eventually, she is able to take a job as a governess at the estate of Edward Rochester (Michael Fassbender), where the two begin to bond, though his dark moods trouble her. When Jane uncovers the terrible secret Rochester has been hiding, she finds no choice but to run from him.  

Our week dedicated to looking at Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander's best works continues today with 2015 Shakespeare adaptation 'Macbeth'. The tragedy tells the story of Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, who is driven to murder the King of Scotland and take the throne for himself by his wife and a prophetic vision. Guilt and paranoia begins to enshroud the two new rulers of Scotland, as they begin to perceive threats to the throne from all directions. Along with Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, David Thewlis, Paddy Considine and Sean Harris star.  

This week's Film Club focusing upon Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander continues today with 2015's 'The Danish Girl'. This historic drama is inspired by the lives of Danish artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. Lili (Eddie Redmayne) and Gerda's (Alicia Vikander) marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili's groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer. The film won an Oscar for Vikander's 'Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role'.

It's the first official week of 'Charlotte's Film Club', and now that she's been given full control of the Film Vaults, anything could come up! This week, in celebration of their recent marriage, the theme is films "starring Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander" Tom is a World War I veteran who lives with his wife Isabel in a lighthouse on the shore off Australia. Isabel's prayers for a child are answered when an infant washes up on shore in a rowboat, despite Tom's thoughts they should notify the authorities. Fate strikes again when they meet the babies' mother on the mainland, and must make a life-altering decision. Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz star.  

Simon and Danny were on their own this week.  No Chris, no Sam, no Charlotte, no Max, no Harry.  No one else.  Just them.  After several years of hand-holding, babysitting and general supervision, the others finally felt that Simon and Danny could cope on their own.  What could possibly go wrong? Fortunately, no one was hurt in the fire though Radio Verulam is now looking for new premises. That might not necessarily be true but here are Simon's choice of films on free-to-air-tv for the forthcoming week: Friday Cliffhanger 10.40pm – 12.50am ITV2 Saturday Aliens 11.00pm – 2.05am Film4 Sunday Atonement 11.00pm – 1.15am Channel 4 Monday The Five Year Engagement 1.05am – 3.35am Film4 Tuesday The Charge of the Light Brigade 12.40pm – 3.15pm Film4 Wednesday This world is not enough 8.00pm – 10.40pm ITV4 Thursday Limitless 11.15pm – 1.20am Film4

So, I've got a confession to make. Sometimes, Simon and Danny pre-record the film guide. I know, I know, you're shocked. What's even more shocking is that the pre-record for today's show happened in July 2003. Simon, who used to be a bit boring and repressed, not the flamboyant and expressive character you see today, managed to successfully predict the UK box office top 10, as well as all the new releases in the cinema this week. How did he do it, you say? Well, theories vary. One is that Simon is a Dr Who-esque timetraveller (which is why he wears all that beige, because beige blends in boringly into whichever time period you're in); another is that he's some kind of wizard or warlock. My personal view is that he is a being outside of time and space, one who sees all of history and all of the future at once, which is why he occasionally seems to space out and lose touch with this reality. That's my theory at least. Ok, that was a lie, but Simon was in the studio to talk about the UK box office, new releases in the cinema, and his pick of films on TV for the coming week. Friday Machete 11.35pm – 1.40am Film4 Saturday The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 6.45pm – 10.20pm ITV2 Sunday The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 6.25pm – 10.00pm ITV2 Monday Ted 11.05pm – 1.10am Film4 Tuesday Sightseers 11.55pm – 1.40am Film4 Wednesday Tomorrow Never Dies 9.00m – 11.25pm ITV4 Thursday Unlikely Angel 1.00pm – 3.00pm True Entertainment

Chris saves the best (or worst?) for last on the Film Dump this week, looking today at Adam Sandler drama from 2009 "Funny People". Recently learning that he has a fatal disease, comic George Simmons (Adam Sandler) spots a struggling performer named Ira (Seth Rogen) and decides to become his mentor. As George teaches Ira the art of stand-up comedy they become close friends, with Ira helping George define his legacy. When an old flame (Leslie Mann) reappears and the disease goes into remission, George gets a chance to re-evaluate his life and figure out what is truly important to him.

Chris continues to fill the "Film Dump" with features to avoid this week, today choosing  "Speed 2: Cruise Control". Moving the action of the first film to a boat, Annie (Sandra Bullock) is looking forward to a Caribbean cruise with her cop boyfriend, Alex (Jason Patric), but their trip (unsurprisingly) turns dangerous. When an explosion disables the ship's communication system and it becomes clear that the vessel is under someone else's control, Alex and Annie must fight for survival as they discover that John Geiger (Willem Dafoe), a crazed passenger, is behind the chaos.
