description: Is it on Netflix UK?
encoded: Sex and the City has landed on Netflix US, introducing a new generation to the once-groundbreaking show. The smash hit series, which ran from 1998 until 2004, follows the lives of four single women as they deal with relationships, jobs, children, fashion, and – of course – sex in New York City. The show captures key issues in young women's lives and discusses them openly alongside the glamorous New York lifestyle of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends as they mature, to varying degrees, over the franchise's run. And with the third season of Sex and the City spin-off series And Just Like That on the horizon, now is the perfect time to re-experience (or experience for the first time) all the iconic adventures with Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the original series in the UK. Where to watch Sex and the City As of 1st April, all six seasons of Sex and the City have become available to stream on Netflix for the first time ever in the US. It was reported back in January that the streaming platform had licensed the show from Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of HBO where the series originally aired. The move is the latest in a string of licensing deals for Netflix following the huge, renewed success of Suits after it debuted on the streaming platform. "I am thrilled that the studios are more open to licensing again, and I am thrilled to tell them we are open for business," Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s co-chief executive, said at the time "We’ve got a rich history of helping break some of TV’s biggest hits, like Breaking Bad and Walking Dead or, even more recently, with Schitt’s Creek," said Sarandos. "Because of our recommendation, our reach, we can resurrect a show like Suits and turn it into a big pop-culture moment but also generate billions of hours of joy for our members." He continued: "I think you have to remember, the studios have always been in the business of selling their content to others, incl…

description: Everything you need to know about the film starring Disney’s most fashionable villain.
encoded: Disney's latest live-action origin story Cruella went down a storm when it was released earlier in the year – and fans who were holding off until they could watch the film for free now have their chance to join in the fun. As was the case with all the previous Disney Plus Premier Access releases, the film is now available to watch with a regular Disney Plus subscription, roughly three months after its initial release. Following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, the film stars Emma Stone as the iconic Disney villain and gives the wicked puppy-skinner a more sympathetic origin story as she transforms from aspiring fashionista into the Cruella we all know from 101 Dalmatians. Alongside Stone, the crime comedy stars the likes of Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Emily Beecham, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Kayvan Novak – and we already know that we're going to be getting a sequel, with Stone reprising the role. If you haven't yet watched the live-action film, you can expect to see a wide range of influences with director Craig Gillespie telling RadioTimes.com that the film is "sort of like the Joker, Devil Meet Prada and Ocean’s 11, sort of all tied up together". Read on for everything you need to know about Cruella. When will Cruella be free on Disney Plus? Cruella arrived in cinemas and on Disney Plus (via Premier Access) on 28th May 2021 after its release date was pushed back from December 2020 due to the pandemic. And as of Friday 27th August it is now available to watch for free with a Disney Plus subscription, while DVD and Blu-Ray editions of the film are now also on sale.

description: We've rounded up Disney's upcoming live-action remakes from when you can expect them to new release dates.
encoded: We've become used to the Disney live-action remake in recent years, with a slew of the studio's animated hits having been given a refresh in the last few years. So far Disney fans have been treated to new versions of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, The Lion King and Dumbo, and more recently, Cruella - and there's much more on the way, with Ariel and Snow White just two of the iconic characters set to be given a modern update in the coming months. We've also just heard that Peter Pan and Wendy has begun production. We've compiled a complete list of all the upcoming Disney live-action remakes, movies that have already been released and what else is planned. Of course, if you want to watch the already-released Disney remakes they're all on Disney Plus along with all the new Star on Disney Plus content. Sign up to Disney+ now for £79.90 for a year or £7.99 a month Upcoming Disney live-action The Little Mermaid – TBC After thirty years confined to animation, Ariel can finally become part of our world in this live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Halle Bailey, one half of the US R&B duo Chloe x Halle, will make history in the lead role, becoming the first person of colour to play a Disney princess who was white in the original animated film. The remake is set to retain its fantasy elements including talking fish, enchanted necklaces, and hair that remains perfectly in place despite salt, wind and magic sea battles. The film was scheduled to begin production in 2020, but, due to coronavirus, it's only just started filming in Italy, and thus there's no confirmed date as to when it will hit the big screen, although there is currently an untitled live-action movie listed on Disney's release calendar in December 2021 - so this could be a possibility at a real push or one of the 2022 dates that are free (more likely).

encoded: Downton Abbey is a series about an early 20th-century high society family and the staff that work for them in their ancestral home.

Each episode follows plots focusing on the family “upstairs” and the staff “downstairs” as their very different, yet overlapping, lives unfold. Through the series, the show also covers events of the time such as the effect of World War I and its aftermath on both levels of society. Other key historical events of the era are also covered, including the sinking of the Titanic, the Spanish flu and the Irish War of Independence. The gripping ITV series explores the class and gender differences of the time, and how the passions and problems that all humans share play out in the period landscape of Yorkshire, in the early 20th century.

description: Find out where to watch and stream Keeping up with the Kardashians, if Keeping up with the Kardashians is on Netflix as well as your guide to the cast and what the reality show is about
encoded: If you were to ask someone on the street to name the first US reality show that popped into their head, there's a good chance the answer would be Keeping Up with The Kardashians - the series documenting the lavish lifestyles of the super-rich family has entered the public consciousness over the years in a manner unlike most shows of its ilk. While not everyone might be aware of quite how Kim Kardashian became so famous in the first place, no one's in doubt about her status as celebrity royalty - and since the show debuted in 2007 showbiz fans the world over have been captivated by the glitz and glamour of her and her family. Some people might criticise the show on the grounds that it does little other than perpetuate the fame of the family, but that hasn't stopped huge viewing figures, and it seems unlikely that the popularity of the series is about to wane anytime soon - with it now into its 18th series. Where to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians in the UK? The good news is that as of June 1st 2020, the first two seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians have been added to Netflix - meaning you can transport yourself way back to 2007 and the very beginning of what became the reality show behemoth we know and love today. Of course, those first two series are only scratching the surface - the show is currently on its 18th season, but if you want the chance to catch some of the more recent episodes they are available on reality streaming service hayu - start your free trial now. You can also catch all 18 series by buying them on Amazon Prime Video or buy the DVD box set. Episodes are also available for purchase on Youtube, GooglePlay or iTunes.

encoded: There are few shows that successfully combine comedy with informed science fiction, but Futurama managed it over its seven seasons on our screens. Created by Matt Groening, the same man behind The Simpsons (so he has just a little bit of animated comedy success to draw on!), the show explores what life might be like in New York in the year 3000 and beyond. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say New New York, as New York has been built over and is now only home to mutant humans who form an underclass in the 31st century society. But we digress. The show originally ran on Fox in the US between 1999 and 2003 and then then swapped to Comedy Central where it ran until 2013, and although it's been a long time since fresh episodes hit our screens, it's still a very popular and well-loved show with a large and loyal fanbase. Here's everything you need to know... Where to watch Futurama in the UK? You can watch Futurama on Amazon Prime Video in the UK or buy the full DVD box set. You can also buy episodes on iTunes. At present the series isn't available on Netflix in the UK. What is Futurama about? Tripping and falling into a cryogenic freezer wasn't the most common fear at the turn of the millennium, but Futurama shows us that you can never be too careful. When red-headed pizza delivery boy Fry accidentally gets frozen for a thousand years, he wakes up to find a completely new world. Futurama follows him as he continues as a delivery boy a thousand years after his last job. Instead of pizzas, he now delivers packages for a mad scientist (who also happens to be his great-great-great-etc-nephew) Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. He also becomes firm friends with a heavy drinking robot Bender, and falls in love with the cyclops Leela, although he is heartbreakingly bad at expressing his feelings.

In the series, Theroux meets a different celebrity each week and finds out about about their glamorous (or not-so-glamorous, in some cases) life. Where to watch When Louis Met...? You can watch buy episodes of the series on iTunes, or pick up the DVD box set, which includes some of Louis Theroux's other shows. View oEmbed on the source website What is When Louis Met... about? When Louis Met... is a documentary series in which Louis Theroux meets a different celebrity every week. Stars who have featured on the program include David Attenborough - you can read all about his chocolate addiction and other secrets here - and Ann Widdecombe. Always keen to meet the most controversial of celebrities, Theroux has said he would like to interview Nigel Farage in the future. Controversially, during the production of the first series, the Conservative MP Neil Hamilton and his wife were arrested for indecent assault and Louis followed their story as it happened- but these allegations were found to be false in the end. The series was critically acclaimed, like much of Theroux's work, although some aspects haven't aged well - for example the very first episode which features Jimmy Savile. This may be part of the reason why the show was eventually canceled as Theroux found it more and more difficult to convince celebrities to appear on the series. Another reason why Theroux might be having trouble getting celebrity guests for the show is that - understandably - they's worried that he'll ask them inappropriate questions about their sex lives, as he annoyed Ann Widdecombe by doing in series two. Despite these flaws, the series attracted high viewing figures, and won a BAFTA in 2002. How many seasons of When Louis Met... are there? The series has two seasons, making a total of seven episodes…

The series, released on Netflix in June 2019, questions the reliability of forensic science and the unquestionable status that it sometimes holds in court due to a lack of understanding of the evidence by the public and criminal justice professionals alike. Where to watch Exhibit A? You can watch the series on Netflix. What is Exhibit A about? Over four episodes, Exhibit A puts forensic science on trial and argues that its misuse, manipulation and misunderstanding has resulted in the conviction of scapegoats above real criminals, as well as enabling the real criminals to get away with it. View oEmbed on the source website The documentary argues that the forensic evidence used to convict prisoners like George Powell, who is due for a second trial for aggravated robbery after ten years in prison, does not stand up to examination. Earn The Necklace reports that forensic video expert said that the man in the video used to convict Powell is too short to be him, and documentary outlines this and other reasons to be skeptical about the evidence used to convict Powell in more detail. The series has been criticised by The Review Geek for failing to offer much new insights on the topic given the plethora of exiting Netflix true crime documentaries currently available, but the series still attracted a moderately high 6.5/10 rating. How accurate is Exhibit A? So far, the reviews the series has been praised for its attention to detail in explaining the nature of forensic science and its use in the courtroom - but given its recent release, it may be a while before real forensic scientists and the criminal justice system in general will comment on the accuracy of the documentary's claims. But the relevance of the documentary series' findings to other people currently in the criminal justice system, and the controversy this entails, at som…

Narrated by David Attenborough, the series is a worthy addition to the BBC's already rich portfolio of nature documentaries. It's well known that Africa is highly biodiverse and features some of the world's most fascinating plants, animals and other lifeforms, but this series shows that there is even more diversity of life on the continent than we could have ever imagined. Where to watch Africa? You can watch Africa on Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Google Play or Amazon Prime Video, or you can buy the DVD box set. You can also find episodes on iTunes. What is Africa about? Africa is a BBC series that explores the natural history of Africa. It begins in the south west, exploring the Kalahari and Namib deserts, showing the first ever film clip of black rhino socialisation at a waterhole at night. Not a bad start! The second episode explores the Savannah, and how organisms have adapted to this fire-prone landscape over evolutionary time, with extraordinary results. Next, the Congo Basin's African rock python and forest elephants' lives are explored, and then Attenborough travels to the Cape to see how the meeting of two ocean currents - the warm Agulhas and the freezing cold Benguela - influences the biology of the species living there. Episode five explores the Sahara, looking at naked mole-rats, Grevy's zebra, Barbary macaques, desert crocodiles, and a favourite for natural historians - the dung beetle. The final episode explores the future of biodiversity in Africa, in a move that foreshadows Attenborough's current much more openly political stance on environmental issues. The difficulties involved in the conservation of species, habitats and ecosystems are explored and viewers are urged to join the cause.

Below we've picked our favourite female characters for you to dress up as on Halloween this year, but don't feel like you're constricted to these. There's no reason you shouldn't dress up as a male character either - it's 2019, and even Disney's swapping round its characters' genders, so we can't see why you shouldn't give it a go. But first, here are our top ten picks for female characters to dress up as from film and TV. Cruella De Vil Thanks to the hype surrounding the upcoming release of the new live-action film Cruella that tells the origin story of the character, this classic Halloween staple is sure to be more popular than ever. Individualise the ready-made costume with your own fluffy coat to stand out from the crowd. Price: From £18.72 on Amazon. Orange is the New Black The series may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't let the women of Lichfield out of prison for a night by dressing up as them for Halloween. A great option if you've got a squad night planned for Halloween, you can print out your own security tags to go with your orange jumpsuits. You can start with the main Orange is the New Black stars Alex and Piper, but beyond that there are countless prisoners to choose from and so there really is something for everyone here. Extra points for drawing on your own tattoos and picking up the classic Alex glasses to personalise the look. Price: From £12.29 on Amazon. Anne Lister Anne Lister is celebrated today as a feminist power-icon and LGBTQ pioneer, but she was the stuff of nightmares for those who wanted to maintain the status quo during her life. Inspired by the BBC's portrayal of the real woman…

encoded: Halloween costumes can be difficult to choose - how do you pick something that feels appropriate for taking the kids out trick-or-treating that also works for Halloween parties with adults who might not appreciate your Shaun the Sheep costume? We think that choosing something from film and TV that appeals to all ages - or at least makes sense to adults and looks vaguely spooky enough to entertain children - is the way to go. We've picked out the very best costumes available online, to help make picking the perfect outfit for Halloween as easy as possible. You can find our list of female characters to dress up as here if you're interested, but to start you off here are our top ten picks of male characters to dress up as on Halloween. Pennywise (IT) We think Pennywise (technically an it, not a he) is a great choice for both men and women on Halloween. After the release of It Chapter Two, the child-eating clown is continuing to terrify a whole new generation of viewers. So whatever age your boss is, they'll be so scared of you at the office Halloween party that they'll say yes to anything - so wear this if you're gearing up to ask them for a raise.

encoded: Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes is a documentary about the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy who managed to evade detection and prosecution for his crimes - which included the kidnap, rape and murder of at least 30 women - for many years before finally being convicted. Before he was executed via the electric chair in 1989, Bundy was interviewed, and he confessed to many of his crimes. The series combines these recordings with statements from his former friends and his surviving victims to shed light on this exceptional case - and to try and find out how it was possible that someone who committed so many terrible crimes could detection for so long. Where to watch Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes You can watch the series on Netflix, or listen to You Can't Make This Up's podcast about the show on Apple Podcasts. View oEmbed on the source website What is Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes about? The Netflix documentary series explores the story of Ted Bundy, a psychopath who confessed to kidnapping, raping and murdering 30 women. His superficial charm not only led to him avoiding detection by the authorities - he seemed an unlikely suspect - but also meant that, even after he was convicted and in custody, he attracted a large number of 'fans', and countless women wrote him love letters whilst he was in prison. The series begins by introducing the journalists Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth discussing why they want to show Ted Bundy's story from his point of view. His first known victims are introduced. The second episode delves into how Bundy initially became a suspect - his partner at the time began to suspect that something strange was going on, and a survivor of an attempted murder, DeRonch, speaks up. The third episode tells the story of how Bundy escaped from police custody during his trial - in which he decided to act as his own lawyer - but even after this lucky getaway, continued to commit atrocious crimes which …

encoded: The Keepers is a 2017 documentary web series about the true story of the murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, a nun who taught at a school in Baltimore. Her students believed that her murder was part of a cover-up of a sexual abuse scandal that she had knowledge of. Directed by Ryan White, the series has been met with critical acclaim for its honest and sensitive treatment of the subject – it does not come to a clear conclusion as to whether the allegations against the authorities have any truth, but leaves viewers to decide for themselves. Where to watch The Keepers? The Keepers is available to watch exclusively on Netflix. Is The Keepers based on a true story? On November 7th, 1969, Sister Cathy Cesnik cashed a cheque at the First National Bank, Catonsvile, then went to the local bakery to buy some buns. After that, she was kidnapped and struck over the head with a blunt object, her body dumped in a landfill and left there until it was discovered by a hunter and his son. An investigation was launched, but to this day the killer has never been found. Ryan White and his team spent three years researching this story and putting their findings together to make the Netflix documentary series The Keepers. Their research included including talking to Baltimore residents who were at the school where Sister Cathy taught all those years ago, so viewers can rest assured that the story they're being told is as accurate as possible.

Where to watch Icarus? You can watch the film on Netflix. View oEmbed on the source website What is the documentary Icarus about? The documentary film Icarus explores the world of top-tier sport and how famous athletes like Lance Armstrong have managed to cheat the system and win. The series' name is a play on the Greek myth where the son of the craftsman Daedalus, called Icarus, was built mechanical wings by his father so that he might escape form Crete. He was warned however not to fly too close to the sun because the heat would cause the contraption to disintegrate, as it was made of feathers and wax, but Icarus did not listen to his father and ended up falling to his death. Bryan Fogel says in his introductory narration, "The idea that I had was to prove the system in place to test athletes was bulls**t. When I started on this, I certainly didn't know what it was going to lead to." He reveals how doping can wreck the reputations of even the world's most established athletes - like Lance Armstrong. What he ended up discovering was that the doping problem in sport was far worse than anyone could have imagined, and his discoveries have produced real questions about the legitimacy of almost any major sporting competition in the world. How many episodes of Icarus are there? The film has just one instalment, which is 121 minutes long. What else can I read or watch?

The controversial show features Morgan's characteristic claws-out questions about the personal lives of the celebrities, including James Corden's lost friendship with Matt Horne and how Kim Cattrall - who couldn't be more unlike her character Samantha Jones in Sex and the City - resents Sarah Jessica Parker for what she sees as a role in preventing her from starting the family she always wanted.

It offers a record of one of the most dangerous and stressful places anyone can work - on a commercial fishing boat - and sees crew members face life-threatening experiences that you'd never guess were part of putting food on our tables. Where to watch Deadliest Catch? You can watch Deadliest Catch on Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video. You can also buy episodes on iTunes. What is Deadliest Catch about? Deadliest Catch follows the working lives of fishermen on various vessels, and highlights the dangers of commercial fishing that were previously a mystery to much of the public. These a higher risk of death than nearly any other job, as well as low job security - in one episodes, a new fisherman was fired as soon as he got back to port after criticising his captain. You can't help but wonder where the appeal is, to be honest. But as well as exploring the downsides of the job, the series explores what drives men to become fishermen- and what it's like being the only woman on a boat in such a testosterone-heavy environment, as Amy Majors, the only woman ever to have worked on the Wizard, explained to Heavy. Over its long run, many fishing vessels used for the series, but the best known is probably Phil Harris's Cornelia Marie. Harris actually died during the filming of one of the episodes in season six, but asked the cameras to keep rolling to capture the dynamics of the story as it happened. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2019/08/GettyImages-487963502-3bb6e9d.jpg" width="4651" height="3096" alt="LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 12: (L-R) David Reichart, Todd Stanley, Steven Wright, Breck Warwick and Matt Fahey, winners of the awards for cinematography - reality programming for "Deadliest Catch", pose in the press room during the 2015 Creative Arts Emmy Awards at Micros…

The series is credited with launching the careers of countless pop idols including Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood - something that similar shows such as The Voice have failed to do.

The series was first broadcast in 2015, and as well as offering a chance to laugh at people whose odd fashion phases ended up with permanent results - or sometimes, tragically, when people's friends have played practical jokes on them which have resulted in some awful tattoos - the show explores how self-identity changes over the course of your life, and helps people move on from old relationships and values. For example, one man had his girlfriend's handprint tattooed on himself, and the team covered this up with a new tattoo to avoid reminding him of the relationship and to help him move on. Unsurprisingly, professional tattoo artists don't approve of the show criticising their work. But come on, some of the tattoos brought in are undeniably awful, like this self-tattooing attempt - although we can't help but admire the ambition behind it.
