PAY-PER-VIEW MOVIES
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) 12 u (Sky Store) ★★★★ Danny Glover and Danny DeVito join the cast for a sequel that’s very nearly as much fun as 2017’s Welcome To The Jungle. The sight of ‘The Rock’ (above) playing a grandma is particularly good fun. From Monday.
SKY ON DEMAND
DRAMA Das Boot (Season 1) ★★★★ This poignant sequel to Wolfgang Petersen’s original 1981 submarine thriller unfolds in 1942 as the tide of war starts to turn against the U-boats. Series two is on the way.
COMEDY The Office (All 14 episodes) ★★★★★
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s comedy is as funny now as it was 19 years ago. The show was a launch pad not only for them, but also for
Martin Freeman, Mackenzie Crook and Ralph Ineson (Finchy), who has had a low-key but wide-ranging career since.
DRAMA The Loudest Voice (All seven parts) ★★★★★ Sterling biopic from the US in which Russell Crowe dominates the screen as Roger Ailes, the man behind the controversial Fox News network.
NETFLIX

Too Hot To Handle (Season 1) ★★★ After Love Is Blind, in which couples were not allowed to see each other, the twist in Netflix’s latest dating show is that its ‘serial singleton’ contenders are not allowed to touch each other – and must forge emotional connections instead. And, for every infraction of the rules observed in their tropical paradise playground, the $100,000 prize pot dwindles. From Friday.
