Reporting from New York, James Cameron-Wilson casts his eye down the UK box office chart, where Avengers: Endgame still rules supreme. But there are new films, with Long Shot starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron the most successful. Other new entries reviewed by James are The Curse of La Llorona, Tolkien and A Dog's Journey. James also drops into the conversation the Hollywood star he met at the Actor's Studio.

Physical Education at school; did you love it or, as so many did, hate it? What are the socio-economic implications of loathing enforced exercise? That's the question fascinatingly explored by Dr. Anne Elliott, senior lecturer of the London Sports Institute at Middlesex University and Professor Tim Evans, professor of Business and Political Economy, also at Middlesex. They believe that, conservatively, poor PE teaching could be costing the NHS £1.2 billion a year.

James Cameron-Wilson looks at the extraordinary box office success of Avengers: Endgame, in theory the last in the series of Marvel superhero movies. It's the quickest film ever to take one billion dollars worldwide, in half the time of the previous record-holder, Avengers: Infinity War. James assesses whether he thinks the unconverted will find it worth seeing. For home release he reviews Minding the Gap, an Obama favourite, a documentary about young men growing up in Illinois.
