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. New this week on Disney+ is The Beatles Anthology, an eight-part documentary series that was first broadcast in 1995 but has been digitally refreshed for a new generation. Long-term fans will flock to the ninth episode made up of unseen footage of Paul, George and Ringo in conversation. Over on NOW: Matt Smith as you’ve never seen him before, in risque drama The Death of Bunny Munro. Based on the book by musician Nick Cave, Smith plays a widowed travelling salesman whose remedy for grief is to sleep with his customers. Meanwhile, Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore are back in the second season of Paramount+'s Landman, the oil drama from Yellowstone, Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown creator Taylor Sheridan. Series 2 sees Thornton's Tommy Norris heading towards his breaking point, as Moore's Cami Miller takes her place at the top of M-Tex Oil, following the death of her husband Monty (Jon Hamm). For the film fans among you, tragedy strikes in the Pacific Northwest for Joel Edgerton’s itinerant logger and his wife (Felicity Jones) in a gorgeous and immersive period piece Train Dreams set across eight turbulent decades. Apple TV's Come See Me in the Good Light is a quietly emotional documentary about the final years in the life of the popular American poet Andrea Gibson, following a terminal cancer diagnosis. The film floats between tender fly-on- the-wall scenes and Gibson’s lovely recitations. There's a real treat on Netflix in Frankenstein, a typically lavish and gory offering from director Guillermo del Toro, starring Jacob Elordi as the titular creation and Oscar Isaac, who cuts a flamboyant figure as the scientist with a plan… You could also try Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho's bonkers sci-fi tale; Freakier Friday, in which Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have reprised their roles as mother and daughter who switch bodies; and Fantastic Four: First Steps, where Vanessa Kirby is the Invisible Woman, one of the blue-suited avengers battling to defeat a new cosmic villain There's no shortage of streaming options, and so to give you a bit of a hand, RadioTimes.com 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.

Best TV shows to watch on Amazon Prime Video UK (November 2025)
From original series to iconic acquired dramas, check out the best shows to watch on Amazon's streaming service.
The days are getting shorter and the weather's getting colder, so now is the time to get cosy and let a streaming series whisk you away. Chicago Med leads the way on Prime Video, bringing all the emotional highs, intense medical emergencies and deeply character-driven drama that have made the One Chicago universe such a long-running favourite. From life-or-death surgeries to the personal struggles and triumphs of its doctors and nurses, the series delivers gripping storylines that keep viewers coming back season after season. Also available on the platform, Scream Queens is a campy cult classic from Ryan Murphy that blends horror, humour, and high fashion, starring Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, and Jamie Lee Curtis in a college-set slasher satire. Packed with razor-sharp one-liners and over-the-top drama, it’s a bloody good time—not to be confused with the mid-2000s reality show of the same name. Prime Video also features its latest Harlan Coben offering with Lazarus, led by Sam Claflin as Joel Lazarus, who is delivered the shock news of his father's suicide and is left to piece together the events leading up to his father's death. When he sets foot in his father's office though, he starts to embody Dr L (Bill Nighy) himself, leading him to uncover more about not only his father, but his mix of clients. If thrillers aren't up your street, then some other strong Prime Video contenders include Hotel Costiera, which boasts a beautiful Mediterranean setting, or The Summer I Turned Pretty, which unfolds against the backdrop of Wilmington, North Carolina (aka Cousins Beach). Alternatively, if you're looking for something with a bit of edge – it is spooky season, after all – you can find some reliable thrills in no-holds-barred The Boys spin-off Gen V, which just returned for season 2, or unpredictable psychological thriller The Girlfriend. The latter show pits Robin Wright (House of Cards) against Olivia Cooke (House of the Dragon), as a worried mother attempts to unravel the apparent lies of her son's mysterious new partner. If you need any further inspiration while navigating Prime Video's vast library, we're here to help, picking the best titles you can find on the streamer and updating this list with new entries every week. 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.

Best educational and inspiring LGBTQ+ documentaries to watch now
Celebrate over 50 years of Pride with these galvanising documentaries.
Pride Month is in full swing this month, marking a time of celebrating LGBTQ+ identities and community. But Pride is also a protest and a call for commemoration. Fortunately, there are a myriad of LGBTQ+ documentaries you can watch which range in tone from hard-hitting to more celebratory, and span decades of queer culture. There's Netflix's Will & Harper, which follows best friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele as they embark on a cross-country road trip to process a new stage of their relationship when Harper comes out as a trans woman. There is also Channel 4's Where Have All the Lesbians Gone?, which takes a sensitive and careful look at the politics of being a lesbian in contemporary society. Meanwhile, The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson, in which Johnson's friend Victoria Cruz investigates the trans activist's suspicious death in 1992, is essential viewing against the backdrop of rising hate crimes targeting trans women. Read on to find out what to watch this Pride Month, and check out our Documentaries hub for the latest factual news.
The top award-winning foreign dramas on the Channel 4 offshoot.
Fans of foreign-language dramas don't need to look too far to find their next bold, refreshing drama – Channel 4's offshoot streaming service Walter Presents is full of them. Walter Presents launched back in 2016 and is an on-demand platform featuring a hand-picked selection of award-winning foreign-language dramas, curated by Walter Iuzzolino. Iuzzolino is an Italian TV producer who considers three criteria when making his choices: the shows must have had mainstream success in their home countries; they must have outstanding writing, acting and directing; and they must have been critically acclaimed. "It's a balance of being innovative so we never become repetitive, but also to bring viewers what they love," Iuzzolino tells us. "I knew there were thousands of great shows all over the world that were not being shown because there was that subtitle stigma. "Walter Presents is like opening the club. The more people love it, the more people will talk about it. It's a bit of a mission to ensure that as many people as possible get to appreciate the joys of international drama." Iuzzolino says that Italy, France and Eastern Europe are the places to look out for when it comes to new drama, and that Dutch series, like The Adulterer, are consistently ranking highly. "It's like going on a sexy city break without leaving your sofa," he adds. "Access to a different culture is also a nice counterpoint to all the tension and bad feeling that is in our world today. It encourages tolerance, open-mindedness and understanding of the other." From hit German cold-war drama Deutschland 89, which the service launched with, and supernatural Italian series The Red Door to Ukraine's Hide and Seek (Pryatki), here are our picks of the best shows available to stream right now on Walter Presents. You're bound to find something you like.

With Severance having recently returned for its long-awaited second season, it's once again become clear that Apple TV has become a major competitor in the streaming market – with its collection of critically acclaimed TV shows among the best in the business. But it has also been making waves when it comes to film releases, with some major Oscar success stories in recent years including a shock best picture win for CODA and 10 nominations last year for Martin Scorsese's superb Killers of the Flower Moon – even if it sadly failed to win any. Despite less awards success this year, there have still been brilliant new additions to the platform in recent months, with the sobering documentary Bread and Roses and Steve McQueen's World War II film Blitz among the most notable new releases.

As a number of films come and go week by week, here are our favourites from Channel 4's current catalogue
Gavin & Stacey director Christine Gernon reflects on the moment she called “Cut” for the last time — and Larry Lamb, Alison Steadman, Melanie Walters and Robert Wilfort discuss the tearful reunion.
Add Gavin & Stacey to your watchlist The last time James Corden and Ruth Jones wrote a Christmas Day special of Gavin & Stacey in 2019, 17.1 million people tuned in. It was the most-viewed non-sporting event in years and the most-watched comedy in 17 years, long after its original, three-series heyday in 2007–9. Which means that this year’s 90-minute special – officially the last ever episode of the Welsh-girl-meets-English-boy romcom – comes with some high expectations. “I am slightly terrified,” confesses Christine Gernon, the show’s director since the very first episode. “I’m feeling pressure like I’ve never felt before.” And that’s saying something, given Gernon’s CV also boasts Absolutely Fabulous, One Foot in the Grave, The Catherine Tate Show and Jonathan Creek. In fact, she was so successful in UK comedy that for the last decade she’s been working in America on shows like Black-ish, New Girl and the US remake of Ghosts. Gavin & Stacey is the only UK show she comes back for – because it’s a labour of love. “When Ruth first gave it to me in 2006 I thought, I’ll try the first few pages. Suddenly I’d read the whole thing and I was on the phone begging her to let me direct,” she laughs. “I think fundamentally, it’s a show that’s about love and people who love each other. I’m doing the editing on the Christmas show now and sat there basking in the friendships. “Those friendships are absolutely real,” she adds. “They’re laughing, they’re chatting, they’re invariably hanging out in each other’s trailers, and Ruth and James delight in getting as many of the cast as possible into every single scene. I often have to beg them to all shut up so we can shoot.” She has to remain tight-lipped about the plot of the feature-length special – the BBC will only reveal that Bryn (Rob Brydon) is packing the Picasso for a trip to Essex; Gavin and Stacey (Mathew Horne and Joanna Page) are looking for new ways to spice up their 17-year marriage; Nessa (Jones) has started a new business venture and Neil the Baby’s about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad Smithy (Corden). “What we wanted to deliver is something for everybody who loves these characters that gives them everything they’ve enjoyed over the years,” she explains. “I was never a fan of the big specials where everyone goes abroad. This is basically a three-episode-long special… that may answer a few long-standing questions.” The cast bond, she notes, is so strong that they rearranged shooting to make sure the final scene would be shot at the end of the final day on set. It felt important, she says, for everyone to be there when she shouted “Cut!” for the last time. “Everyone was crying,” she recalls. “I mean, Jo was pretty much in tears from day one of filming.” She pauses. “It really has been fun, you know? It was sad on that final day, realising that we will never get to hang out and do this really, really lovely, fun show again.”
Is Craig Revel Horwood going soft? Are the pros too tough on the celebrities? Who should appear on the Christmas special? The Strictly judges have their say…
Add Strictly Come Dancing to your watchlist As the pantomime villain of Strictly Come Dancing, Craig Revel Horwood has become accustomed to being booed and heckled by fans. But viewers may have detected a slight softening recently, with the judge’s famous “Fab-u-lous, darling” catchphrase getting more airtime these days than his “Dull, dull, dull!” Could it be that, after 20 years behind the judging desk, the 59-year-old has gone soft? “I have changed my style of judging,” he admits. “I was really harsh 20 years ago. When I look back, I think, ‘Ooh, that’s cutting.’ It would now be classed as bullying, and then I’d be cancelled.” But, he adds, his new, kinder persona has not come about because he’s afraid of causing a public outcry. “It’s not fear of being cancelled. It’s just, how can I reach out to them and help them to improve, rather than just saying, ‘This is wrong, that’s wrong.’ I’m thinking more like a teacher than a judge. “If the standard is low, I really haven’t got anything to say except what’s wrong with it. But this series there’s been an awful lot that’s right with everything. They’re much more talented now than they used to be. Back then, we had snooker players and politicians, and it was pretty tough on people who couldn’t dance. I was very direct. I do still say what’s wrong, but you can wrap the truth in a nice way.” In case you’re concerned that he has become too nice, Revel Horwood insists he still couldn’t care less if dancers are upset by his opinions. “I’m not there for their emotions. I don’t care how it affects them in that way, because they need to learn and respect my opinion.” Nor does he care about any backlash from fans. In fact, he plans to write a book about the social media trolling he has received. “It will be hilarious. Over the years I’ve been keeping all these comments and so-called death threats from people who have five followers and no dance knowledge, and I’m going to shame them. “I read these comments and think, ‘Wonderful, that’s a brilliant one for the book.’ I treat it all as a cartoon. They can’t even string a sentence together. I often reply and say, ‘Thanks for the opinion, but perhaps you would like to learn to spell before you tell me what you think, darling.’” Not everybody is as thick-skinned as Revel Horwood. Duty of care towards contestants came under the spotlight earlier this year, leading to a new rule that means a chaperone must now be present in all rehearsal rooms, and there has been much debate about teaching standards on the show. What does Strictly’s toughest judge think of the furore? “Things have to change. These dancers are world champions – they’ve been taught properly to win, and the only way you’re going to achieve that is by someone driving you. That’s embedded in their DNA. You can’t just change that overnight. “That’s very different to a celebrity who’s a novice coming in. Celebrities are sensitive because they’re in the public domain. They’ve got reputations to protect and don’t want to be seen looking stupid. So it’s about having someone there in the room and guarding both the celebrity and the professional, and also encouraging the fact that it should be fun. They still need to be pushed, because we can’t get away from the fact that dancing is hard, but it’s a light entertainment programme as well.” Of course, Revel Horwood knows the heart of Strictly better than most. He’s the only remaining judge from the original line-up of Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Arlene Phillips. Apparently, Phillips and Tonioli still watch Strictly – but Revel Horwood rarely talks about the show with them, as they’re always too busy gossiping. “I see them quite a lot and they both watch it. I often see Bruno at his house – he cooks a great chicken. He’s obviously hopelessly involved in Britain’s Got Talent now and his thing is about pushing gold buzzers or whatever, and he does the American dancing show.” He adds that Goodman, who died in April 2023, would have “loved” Paul Merson, Chris McCausland and Wynne Evans this year. “He’d have loved the banter, because that’s like the old days when the celebs had a bit of a laugh.” Who has Revel Horwood most enjoyed watching in the past two decades? “Mark Ramprakash [who won series four] was always terrible in rehearsal,” he reflects. “Poor Karen Hardy would say, ‘I don’t know how we’re going to get through this,’ then he’d come on live and go ‘Boom!’ and fly across the dancefloor. We never knew where it came from. I suppose he needed the pressure of a live audience. That must be to do with him being a top-level cricketer.” The show will be back this Christmas with its traditional end-of-the-year outing and a 20th-anniversary documentary. Revel Horwood says he will be sitting down to watch them amid his “very traditional” Christmas, watching the King’s speech and eating a roast turkey dinner. His Christmas wish? That one day, he’ll get to choose who appears on the festive edition. “Simon Cowell would be the dream,” he says. “But if I could choose someone to dance with personally, I’d love to dance with Queen Camilla.”
