Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse

“Are you too powerful?” That was the question the US Senate put to Mark Zuckerberg about data concerns in 2018 – and it’s what this feature documentary hinges on.

“You seem like a nice guy. But this is a really bad pitch.” Much as the Den can produce uplift, it can be a brutal place when an entrepreneur doesn’t have their ducks in a row.

The Eyes of Orson Welles (Mark Cousins, 2018), 11.40pm, BBC Four
These days, it’s hard to find a new angle on the heavily dissected career of film and theatre genius Orson Welles, but in this free-ranging documentary essay, Mark Cousins has managed to tease one out. Basing his profile on the Citizen Kane director’s own drawings and paintings, Cousins aims for a “sketchbook” of Welles’s life, using his own ability to capture an arresting image to pin down how Welles saw and what interested him. It’s an ambitious and personal take, but it will draw you back to his films and make you see them afresh. Simon Wardell
