FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...

CULTURE

Laurel Canyon is a two-part docu-series that pulls back the curtain on a mythical world and provides an upclose look at the lives of the musicians who inhabited it.

TV

Downton Abbey

We return to the sumptuous setting of Downton Abbey for the sixth and final season of the internationally acclaimed series. Preparations for Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes’ wedding are underway, but a misunderstanding threatens the peace. Michael Fox pictured right.

COMEDY

Jack Whitehall: I’m Only Joking

Available on Netflix

After a string of acting appearances, and teaming up with his dad for various travelogues and chat shows, viewers might be forgiven for forgetting that Jack Whitehall started out as a stand-up comedian, winning awards early on at the Edinburgh Fringe. Now he returns to the live comedy stage for this, his second original Netflix special, filmed at Wembley Stadium in

January. The hour-long set promises tales about his aforementioned father – and sometime TV partner – as well as an uncomfortable story from the Berlin airport. Jack also gives his thoughts on happy couples, human stupidity and life in hotels, and also tries a spot of audience interaction – but it doesn’t go quite as well as he might have hoped.SPORT

FAMILY FUN
