ON DEMAND GUIDE: Valentine’s Day

On this most romantic of days, here’s our guide to TV and film offerings, both classic and modern, from such on demand services as Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+ and more…

The classic The 1995 TV Pride And Prejudice

(Britbox, Netflix and Drama, 11am) is always a winner, and there’s also the 2005 Keira Knightley film (Netflix), while Emma isa good Austen choice, too – see the 2009 Romola Garai BBC series (Britbox), and the 2020 movie with The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-joy

(Sky/now TV). For steamier fare, there’s the 1993 Lady Chatterley with Sean Bean and Joely Richardson (Britbox), the 2015 version with Richard Madden, and a racy 1981 movie take with Sylvia

Kristel (both Netflix).

The modern Saucy feast Bridgerton, with Phoebe Dynevor (centre, Netflix), bridges that classic-modern divide, as do time-hopping saga Outlander (Amazon) and witchvampire romance A Discovery Of Witches (Sky/now TV). For the sceptical, there’s dark drama Soulmates (Amazon), or for something nice, try UK romcom Trying (Apple TV+) and NYC series Love Life (iplayer).

The films After (Netflix),

Bridget Jones’s Diary (Netflix), Once (Amazon),

Pretty Woman (Amazon),

The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things (Amazon).
