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

CATCH-UP TV DRAMA

MRS WILSON BBC IPLAYER ★★★★ Ruth Wilson plays her own grandmother, who discovers secrets about her late husband (a spy), in this riveting three-parter. See it before it leaves iplayer. Until Friday.

YOU DON’T KNOW ME

BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

All four parts of this urban crime drama come to iplayer in one go. It opens as the accused, Hero (Angela Black’s Samuel Adewunmi), defends himself in court. From tomorrow.

COMEDY THE OFFICE

BBC IPLAYER ★★★★★ Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s comedy is as funny now as it was 20 years ago, and recently returned to iplayer. The show was a launch pad for them and many others, and builds to what is still one of the best Christmas specials in TV history.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES

BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

Roy Clarke created Last Of The Summer Wine, Open All Hours and this great comedy starring Patricia Routledge as social climber Hyacinth Bucket – pronounced ‘Bouquet’. All five series were recently added to iplayer.

DOCUMENTARY OUR FAMILY AND AUTISM BBC IPLAYER

★★★★

Paddy Mcguinness and his wife, Christine, open up about the challenges and joys of life with their three autistic children for this deeply personal documentary. The couple are on a quest to better understand the reality of raising neurodiverse children, and take at look at what the future might hold.

FREDDIE MERCURY: THE FINAL ACT BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

Engaging one-off documentary that explores the final years of Freddie Mercury, and the shadow cast over his life by AIDS. Brian May and Roger Taylor explain how the stigma attached to AIDS meant that Freddie and the band denied he had the disease right until the end. The film ends on the high of Freddie’s 1992 farewell concert.

SUPERHERO SHOW

SUPERMAN & LOIS BBC IPLAYER ★★★★ The full first season of this grounded US drama in which the Man of Steel and the steely reporter are working parents. From today.

LAST CHANCE WWI: THE FINAL HOURS

BBC IPLAYER ★★★★

Dramatised documentary that uncovers the extraordinary events leading up to the Armistice negotiations. Until Tuesday.
