We dig out the hidden gems so you don’t have to PARAMOUNT+, SKY, NETFLIX, BRITBOX & APPLE
TO THE MANOR BORN BRITBOX COMEDY
The hugely popular sitcom began in 1979 and ran for three series, all of which are being made available here. It starred Penelope Keith in a role not a million miles from The Good Life’s Margo Leadbetter. After the death of her husband, the frightfully posh Audrey fforbesHamilton has to sell the beloved manor house that has been in her family for centuries and move into a small lodge on the estate. However, she keeps tabs on the big house’s new owner, Richard DeVere (Peter Bowles, below, with Keith), a former barrow boy who made his money in business. From Thursday
MONEY HEIST: KOREA – JOINT ECONOMIC AREA
NETFLIX THRILLER
The title isn’t exactly catchy, but you’re sure to be hooked on the series. It’s an adaptation of the hit Spanish thriller Money Heist but, you guessed it, set in a unified Korea. As before, thieves (above) target the nation’s mint, leaving the police to find a way to free their hostages and bring the culprits to justice. From Friday
LOOT
APPLE TV+ COMEDY
Who among us can honestly say they’ve ever felt sorry for unhappy billionaires? Exactly. That’s the main problem for this sitcom. The extremely wealthy Molly Novak (Maya Rudolph) goes off the rails in the wake of her divorce, but finds a new sense of purpose when she discovers she has a charity foundation that she has never paid any attention to. From Friday
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SKY/NOW FILM
Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) is a sensitive 1960s-obsessed fashion student who has just moved to London. Her
incredibly vivid dreams seem to be telling her about an aspiring singer called Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy, right) who might have been murdered after falling in with some very nasty types. Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller is stylish, creepy and gripping for much of its running time but falls apart towards the end. Available now
MAN VS BEE NETFLIX COMEDY
Rowan Atkinson’s TV comeback gets off to a riotous start in an almost-silent, Mr Bean-esque comedy. He plays Trevor, a lovable dad and newly employed housesitter who ends up at war with a pesky bee on his first assignment in a luxury mansion. Will he keep his cool, or will destruction follow in his wake? Atkinson is on form in this short, sweet and certainly cringeworthy series that keeps you laughing and groaning throughout. From Friday
ALSO ON PARAMOUNT+ HALO
PARAMOUNT+ SCI-FI
Based on the video-game series, this is a big-budget, action, sci-fi show about a 26th Century war between humanity and an alien threat called the Covenant. It’s not Ibsen but if you want to watch epic fights between space warriors and monsters, it delivers. With Pablo Schreiber and Natascha McElhone. From Wednesday
THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH PARAMOUNT+ SCI-FI
A sequel to the 1976 Nicolas Roeg film in which alien Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) arrived on Earth.
Decades later, Faraday (Chiwetel Ejiofor), from the same planet as Newton, who is still around, turns up and falls in with a brilliant scientist played by Naomie Harris. From Wednesday
1883
PARAMOUNT+ WESTERN
Western prequel to Yellowstone. The series chronicles the Dutton family’s journey from Texas across the Great Plains to Oregon in the late 19th Century. Outlaws, disease and Native Americans stand in their way.
From Wednesday
STAR TREK: STRANGE
NEW WORLDS PARAMOUNT+ SCI-FI
Series set on the USS Enterprise a decade before the original show, with self-contained episodes like the earlier series. Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck, above) and Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) boldly go. From Wednesday
SNOWFLAKE MOUNTAIN NETFLIX REALITY SHOW
The idea of leaving a bunch of strangers somewhere remote and expecting them to fend for themselves isn’t exactly new, but this latest show promises to be a little bit different. It features ‘clueless kidults’ (like Solomon, above), who are sent to a survival retreat in the Lake District in an attempt to toughen them up. Expect to be amused and irritated in equal measure. From Wednesday
