TV ON DEMAND

Robin Wiggs’s guide to the best TV and movies on iplayer, Netflix and more…

CATCH-UP TV

COMEDY

LOVE LIFE BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

Sweet US romcom that picks apart a different relationship of its main character in every episode (‘from first love to lasting love’) and makes nice Valentine’s viewing. Anna Kendrick stars as New Yorker Darby. ZAPPED BBC IPLAYER ★★★

All three series of this anarchic fantasy comedy, first shown on Freeview channel Dave, are now on iplayer. It makes for fun, escapist viewing – with some cracking cameos to look out for – as an office drone (James Buckley) is transported to a magic land, where he is suddenly quite exotic.

REAL-LIFE SERIES

EATING WITH MY EX BBC IPLAYER ★★★

Separated celebrities from Love Island and Towie pick apart their relationships, as do The Apprentice’s Ryan-mark Parsons and racing driver Seb Morris. From tomorrow. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPES WITH SANDI TOKSVIG ALL4 ★★★★

Sandi Toksvig goes on breaks in Britain with women she admires, and has a good old chat. Her first guest is Alison Steadman.

DOCUMENTARY

AMAZING HOTELS: LIFE BEYOND THE LOBBY BBC ★★★★ IPLAYER

Giles Coren and Monica Galetti (Masterchef: The Professionals) host this fun look inside some of the world’s best and most lavish hotels. They’re on St Lucia to start with, at the Jade Mountain resort, which sits inside 600 acres of tropical forest. Lucky them, too, because each room has its own private pool. THE ADAM CURTIS COLLECTION

BBC IPLAYER ★★★★★

The documentary film-maker’s new series, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, arrived on iplayer last week. Here is a selection of his earlier films, including Nick Leeson And The Fall Of The House Of Barings, The Mayfair Set, The Trap: What Happened To Our Dream Of Freedom and the remarkable

The Power Of Nightmares. From Thursday.

ENTERTAINMENT

DYNAMO: MAGICIAN IMPOSSIBLE BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

There’s usually at least one amazing stunt in every series of Steven Frayne’s globetrotting show, and lots of great street magic, too.

LAST CHANCE

DOLLY PARTON: HERE I AM BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

The singer tells her own story in this rich, feature-length profile. Until tomorrow.
