BBC iPLAYER, ITV HUB & ALL 4
MY FAMILY Long-running comedy that was ratings catnip
Some sitcoms attempt to break new ground or be a little subversive, but My Family was always unashamedly populist – which is perhaps why it ran for 11 series while other, more niche offerings, fell by the wayside. Robert Lindsay and Zoë Wanamaker star as misanthropic dentist Ben Harper and his control-freak wife Susan, while Kris Marshall, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Gabriel Thomson play their rather demanding children, who seem to have little in common other than a shared surname. Every episode is now available to rewatch. BBC iPlayer, from Friday
GET EVEN Teenage crime-fighters get into hot water
Kitty, Margot, Bree and Olivia are the kind of self-assured teenagers many of us wished we’d been, although their ordered world is about to come crashing down around them in this chilling crime drama. They’re pupils at an elite private school who are bonded by a common cause – to expose injustice via their own secret investigative society. However, after one of their targets is found dead, it becomes clear their actions are more widely known than they realised – and that somebody is trying to frame them for a crime they didn’t commit. Can the quartet discover who it is and clear their names? BBC iPlayer, available now
GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME Chuckles aplenty in a much-loved 1990s show
All three series of the groundbreaking 1990s comedy show are available now. Its creators and stars, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal, took the 1960 Peter Sellers/ Sophia Loren song and flipped it, making the Anglo-Indian cast the stars of the show, and the Anglo-Saxon English the figures of fun – notably in the simple but brilliant ‘going for an English’ sketch. But the show took care to be equally merciless with Indian stereotypes, including Mr ‘Everything comes from India’ and Mrs ‘I can make it at home for nothing’ (played by Nina Wadia, right, with Kulvinder Ghir).

TITIAN: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS Titanic Titian: from the National to your home
As museums and galleries are closed, some of us are missing our cultural fix. Thank goodness, then, for documentaries such as this, which give viewers an opportunity to see exhibitions we would otherwise have missed. Titian: Love, Desire, Death is the title of the show that should be running at London’s National Gallery. Art-lovers can see what it would have contained – the programme showcases six paintings commissioned from the Renaissance master by Prince Philip of Spain in 1550. Experts are on hand to discuss his life and work. BBC iPlayer, available now
THE VIRTUES Gritty Brit drama
If you’re feeling a bit down about being cooped up at home, it might be best to steer clear of Shane ‘This Is England’ Meadows’ four-part drama. But if you want something to get your teeth into with magnificent performances and a thought-provoking storyline, this is it. Stephen Graham heads the cast as Joseph, a recovering alcoholic who falls off the wagon after his ex-wife emigrates to Australia with their young son. All 4, available now
I AM A MEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVIST BRAND NEW SHOW. Portrait of a man trying to buck feminist trend
