FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...
STREAMING
Lenox Hill
Netflix, from June 10
Here’s a shock for you – Netflix is releasing a new documentary series, but it isn’t true crime-related. Instead, it’s a rather timely project that takes viewers inside Lenox Hill Hospital in New York as it follows the professional lives of four of the institution’s doctors – two are brain surgeons, one is an ER specialist and the other is the chief resident in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. Directors Adi Barash and Ruthie Shatz have been given no-holds-barred access to the quartet’s work, and as a result offer an unflinching insight into the difficulties the medics face as they cover every aspect of life, from birth to death, while attempting to juggle the demands of their job with their commitments to their families and friends.

Maya Jama and Alex Horne and his band The Horne Section will also feature, and together they aim to give the British public a taste of some of the major events they’re being forced to miss this summer, with help from celebrity guests.
