description: From all-time classics to the very best new drama series, discover what you've been missing on BBC iPlayer.
encoded: BBC's drama output for 2026 has got off to a great start – with the likes of Dennis Kelly's Waiting for the Out and the hotly anticipated fourth season of Industry both impressing both critics and audiences. Meanwhile, Pride and Prejudice is seen through a new lens in new period drama The Other Bennet Sister, as overlooked sibling Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) takes centre stage in a sharp adaptation of Janice Hadlow’s novel. The Night Manager recently returned for a second season 10 years after season 1 concluded, and long-running favourites Silent Witness, Call the Midwife and Death in Paradise are all ongoing – so it's really been a good start to the year for the broadcaster. Of course, these shows are all available to watch on BBC iPlayer along with a whole array of shows from the BBC's back catalogue. For example, now that the aforementioned The Night Manager is at an end, you might want to check out another John Le Carré adaptation such as 2018 miniseries The Little Drummer Girl. There is also Death in Paradise spin-off Return to Paradise, sitting alongside newer dramas such as King & Conqueror and The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Then there are offbeat comedy dramas like The Gold, Film Club and Am I Being Unreasonable?, while those looking for something more hard-hitting can turn to Blue Lights or a range of true story adaptations like The Bombing of Pan Am 103. Crime, murder mystery and detective series like Annika and Death Valley are part of iPlayer's stacked library, as well as American acquisitions like Tell Me Lies, so there really is something for everyone. However, with so much to binge-watch, we understand it can all be a bit overwhelming to have so much choice. So, we've put together a list of all the best available series right now, which should mean you can find something to suit you without all that endless scrolling. Read on and enjoy.

description: From original series to iconic acquired dramas, check out the best shows to watch on Amazon's streaming service.
encoded: If you're on the hunt for your next binge watch, Prime Video may just be the place to look, with its sprawling catalogue of titles from acclaimed long-running dramas to fan-favourite originals. Whether you're after a fresh new drama to dive into or a classic series you always find yourself rewatching, there is something for every kind of viewer. In heist thriller Steal, Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones, Joan) and Archie Madekwe (Saltburn, Gran Turismo) star as best friends Zara and Luke, whose day at a pension fund investment company starts out like any other. That is, until armed robbers enter the building and siphon off an astonishing amount of money – with Zara and Luke forced to carry out their demands. Meanwhile, Scarpetta, the series based on Patricia Cornwell's bestselling crime novels, has now been released. The drama stars Nicole Kidman as the title character Dr Kay Scarpetta, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis as her sister Dorothy Farinelli, Bobby Cannavale as Detective Pete Marino, Simon Baker as FBI profiler Benton Wesley and Ariana DeBose as Kay's tech-savvy niece Lucy Farinelli Watson. The streamer recently returned to the world of Alex Cross, with season 2 following Aldis Hodge's (Black Adam) Cross as he tried to track down a deadly vigilante, who has a vendetta against corrupt billionaires – including Matthew Lillard's (Scream 7) new character Lance Durand. Prime Video has also become the home of 15-season epic Supernatural, as well as other new originals, including Steal and The Assassin, the latter of which was just renewed for a second season. If you need any further inspiration, we're here to help, picking the best titles from Prime Video's vast library for your convenience. We update this list with new entries every week, meaning you can never miss the best shows. So, without further ado, here are the top titles on Amazon Prime Video for UK viewers. Sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime Video and pay £8.99 a month after that.

description: We all know about One Battle After Another, Hamnet and Sinners – but here are some Oscar-nominated films from this year that might have slipped under your radar.
encoded: The quality of this year's Oscar best picture race is of a very high standard – with frontrunners Sinners and One Battle After Another joined in the category by a number of other tremendous films including The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Marty Supreme. But as well as those big-hitters, there are several other movies in the running in various other categories that may have slipped under your radar. As ever, many of those can be found in the best international and best documentary feature categories – with the likes of Sirât and Mr Nobody Against Putin among those worth seeking out. Meanwhile, we've also selected a few films that have picked up a stray nomination in a below-the-line category but have otherwise been largely snubbed, such as make-up and hairstyling nominee The Ugly Stepsister. Check out our list of 10 hidden gems from the Oscar nominations list below – including our official Radio Times reviews and details on where to watch each film. 1. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You Nominated for: Best actress – Rose Byrne RT Review: Motherhood is a mountain to be exhaustingly climbed in this scathing, innovative comedy drama from American writer/director Mary Bronstein (who also pops up to play a patronising paediatrician). Rose Byrne is sensational as Linda, a woman whose life, and ceiling, is tumbling down around her. She's grappling with the demands of her daughter (a largely unseen Delaney Quinn) whom she feeds via a gastric tube, while trying to maintain her career as a psychotherapist. Her ship-captain husband Charles (voiced by Christian Slater) is away with work, and her own therapist (Conan O'Brien) seems to despise her. Things get really ugly when Linda is forced to move herself and her daughter into a motel (run by A$AP Rocky's James) and she starts behaving recklessly, while a client's crisis touches a nerve. Bronstein confronts the depth of Linda's depression and the judgements she faces in imaginative, interrogatory style, punctuating her film with …

encoded: We can all feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for something to watch in the world of streaming, so if you're in need of some help, you've come to the right place. This week, Nicole Kidman takes on the esteemed role of Kay Scarpetta from Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels, a pathologist who solves mysteries with sophisticated forensic technology. Glossy new Prime Video series Scarpetta also boasts two more Oscar winners in the form of Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose. Meanwhile, almost a year on from Louis Theroux's last documentary, he is now fronting his first feature-length film for Netflix, taking a closer look at the "Manosphere". Over 90 minutes, the journalist travels to Miami, New York and Marbella to meet influencers who have been reshaping young men's ideas about masculinity and fuelling a resurgence of the men's rights movement. For the film fans among you, if you haven't yet caught all the award-winning pictures from this awards seasons, here's your chance. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle after Another and horror flick Sinners are the talk of the town following the Oscars, and you can stream them both now. Elsewhere, Jessie Buckley hoovered up the gongs for her sensational leading turn in director Chloé Zhao’s drama Hamnet about the domestic life of William and Agnes Shakespeare, and the unimaginable loss that may have inspired the Bard’s greatest play. In I Swear, Robert Aramayo won a Bafta last month for his portrayal of John Davidson, who, at 16, became a TV personality when he was the focus of a 1989 BBC doc. This feel-good, foul-mouthed biopic depicts Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, trying to make his way in the world. There's no shortage of streaming options, and so to give you a bit of a hand, Radio Times has collated some of the best new offerings: from Netflix and Disney Plus to Prime Video, BBC iPlayer and Apple TV, here are the latest highlights across the services. Whether it's a tense thriller like Run Away, a reality show…

description: Some of the best movies on Netflix right now include Abigail, Priscilla and Train Dreams. Updated weekly.
encoded: There's only a couple of months to go until this year's summer blockbusters start to arrive, but if you're already craving some spectacular action then Netflix has you covered. The streamer has nabbed the rights to Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's underrated 2024 gem The Fall Guy, which imagines a light-hearted conspiracy unfolding around the chaos of a typical Hollywood movie set. The charismatic leads prove to be well matched sparring partners, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson (28 Years Later), Winston Duke (Black Panther) and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) among the wider cast. The Fall Guy got an enthusiastic thumbs up from critics upon release, but failed to attract crowds in cinemas, so if you missed it the first time around then now is the perfect time to correct that mistake. The streamer has plenty of other originals on its release calendar for the rest of the year too, including Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man (only in cinemas now) and Greta Gerwig's reimagining of the Narnia universe (due in November).

encoded: If you're looking for inspiration for shows to watch on NOW, you've come to the right place In new series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Game of Thrones gets another spin-off, but with no dragons in sight. Instead, we’re following a minor knight and squire named Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who want to win some money at a local tournament. In among the festive treats at the end of last year, Sky original series Amadeus may have got somewhat lost in the shuffle. The drama stars Will Sharpe as Mozart and Paul Bettany is Salieri, and provides a new take on their almost certainly fictional rivalry, as first presented in Peter Shaffer's play. All five episodes are available to stream on NOW in the UK, sitting alongside other recent acclaimed series such as It: Welcome to Derry and The Chair Company. NOW is also home to widely discussed dramas The Last of Us and The Day of the Jackal, plus highly decorated comedy Hacks, with gritty crime thriller Gangs of London among the British originals to choose from. All of this means it's the perfect place to head to if you're looking for an evening's entertainment. In fact, it's also where you can find real classics, such as HBO's The Wire and The Sopranos. Scroll on for Radio Times's top picks, spanning recent releases and all-time greats.
