Product Information

Return to Britain’s south coast in the mid-1980s and relish the salty thrill of hobnobbing with the Hampshire yachting set. Huge hair and piratical fashions swamp the senses as the Howard family win yacht races, the women glisten like sexy dolphins and the men take their seduction tips from coffee adverts. Delicious. Insecure

Julia Davis has been funnier and more disgusting since, but Nighty Night still stands out as her best work. It is a comedy of relentless, almost irredeemable depravity, and yet there is something very recognisably human about each of the characters. Deep down, we are all two bad decisions away from becoming Jill Tyrrell. The Office Based on Israeli series BeTipul, this is drama in its purest form, starring Gabriel Byrne as a therapist, working on a roster of four clients per season and slowly revealing each one to be a complex, painfully relatable human. It rarely deviates from two people talking in a room: with dialogue this finely crafted, nothing else is needed. The KillingThe Sopranos is still a top-five-of-all-time television series. Imbibe it via box set and you can watch the thing expand in real time, from a drama about a mob boss in therapy to a genuinely poetic meditation on life and death. Succession A murder mystery so strong it inspired an entire genre. Budget demands meant that Danish producer DR had to go low and grainy while attempting to meet the new watermark for tension TV, 24. In its first season, Detective Sarah Lund rewired the police procedural with the deft plot twists of a prize-winning novel in a Faroese knit. Scandi-noir was born. Killing Eve The work room’s running out of bias binding and Miss Evie’s sleeping with that married man again. This 1920s-set drama about a pair of fashion-pioneer sisters in roaring London takes the inconsequential and elevates it to high drama. Love among the mannequins, stolen designs, horny aristos. Its own French and Saunders parody, but joyful escapism. Howards’ Way
