With a title like that, you might think you know exactly where this story is heading. But like the snake-oil salesman at its heart, Sky’s adaptation of Nick Cave’s novel The Death Of Bunny Munro is a slippery, off-kilter beast.

The funeral of Libby (Sarah Greene) early on sets the tone, when Bunny Munro Sr (Matt Smith) does at least two unspeakable things at his wife's burial, before setting off on a booze-fuelled road trip with his son (Rafael Mathé), Bunny Jr, in tow. Big Bunny is all charm, lying through his teeth to everyone he meets, desperate to sell hokey cosmetics and promiscuously have his way with England’s entire south coast. Those boyish looks and electric smile soon falter, though, as Bunny’s world begins to unravel.
