This week we have a cornucopia of great drama box sets to binge. I have to confess I'm more inclined to watch two or three episodes of a drama in one go than I used to be.

Why? Well, I think it's because plots are getting more complicated and there's a danger of not remembering where you are when you come back to a series. But that's probably more to do with me...

In this issue we offer you 20 of the best dramas to indulge in, from gangster to costume, sci-fi to cosy crime. The sheer breadth and depth of quality on show will have you asking, "Can I possibly fit in another episode before bed?"

We also feature the winners at the Arias (I think it's obligatory to follow that with 'the audio equivalent to the Oscars'), and RT columnist David Hepworth tells us the tale of how he made Bruce Springsteen a star in Britain.

If you want a laugh, visit our YouTube channel (Yes, we're really quite up to the minute at RT Towers) and watch our interview with Have I Got News for You stars Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. It's very funny - and nowhere near as long as a box set.
