encoded: If you’re in need of a speedy mood boost, why not turn your attention to Netflix’s brilliant back catalogue of comedy series, movies and specials? The streaming service has one of the most impressive libraries around, and that means that the platform is home to an array of hilarious TV and film favourites, from old classics to newer original offerings. There are beloved sitcoms aplenty from both sides of the Atlantic, from US series like 30 Rock and Seinfeld to British hits like Peep Show, Motherland and Derry Girls, as well as more gems such as Grace and Frankie and Feel Good. Four seasons in, comedy drama Sex Education remains a firm favourite for the streamer, and has acted as a launch pad for an array of talented stars like Ncuti Gatwa (the Fifteenth Doctor in Doctor Who), Emma Mackey and BAFTA winner Aimee Lou Wood. Netflix has also firmly established itself as the home of an array of stand-up specials, from Bo Burham’s lockdown-inspired Inside (complete with songs that will stick around in your head for weeks after) to Katherine Ryan’s Glitter Room. Film fans needn’t miss out either, as the platform is packed with treats like romcom Always Be My Maybe, smash-hit satirical comedy Barbie and the Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scraggs. Read on for RadioTimes.com’s guide to the very best comedy that Netflix has to offer, and if you want more streaming inspiration, check out our guides to the best series on Netflix and best movies on Netflix

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 guidance, you've come to the right place. This week: Rivals is back! Jilly Cooper’s unstoppable yarns about the bonkers, bonking denizens of Rutshire are truly outrageous fun, but not trash: the cast, led by David Tennant as villainous media mogul Lord Baddingham, see to that. Series two brings more schemes, betrayals and hastily removed underclothing. And there's more good news for fans of David Tennant. After a three-year wait since Good Omens season 2 debuted, the beloved fantasy series is finally back with a 90-minute finale episode. The new instalment of the series, which is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, reunites Tennant's Crowley and Michael Sheen's Aziraphale after that heartbreaking end to season 2. The Yellowstone world is always expanding – but Dutton Ranch brings back fan favourites for their own, new story on Paramount+. While past spin-offs, including 1883 and 1923, focused on the past, Taylor Sheridan’s cowboy universe now takes a ride over to life with Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Their story continues after leaving Montana and heading to Texas. But nothing in their lives is ever easy... Meanwhile, Neil Forsyth, writer of the acclaimed heist drama The Gold, dramatises the rollicking true story of how UK Customs officials tried to infiltrate gangs bringing drugs into the UK in the early 1990s in Netflix drama Legends. Steve Coogan is fantastic as the agents’ mentor alongside Tom Burke and Hayley Squires. For the film fans among you, there's plenty to choose from. New to Disney+ is epic musical drama The Testament of Ann Lee, which traces the life of the Manchester-born Lee (Amanda Seyfried), the founding leader of the Shaker movement - a denomination of Christianity that prioritised celibacy, pacifism, community and equality, and whose worship was characterised by song and dance, which they believed was …

encoded: When it comes to crafting high intensity, yet character-focussed dramas based on real events, Neil Forsyth has really been making a name for himself. While his previous acclaimed series, The Gold, was a BBC production, his latest venture, Legends, has come straight to Netflix, and it follows a group of ordinary customs workers going undercover in drugs gangs in the 1990s. It's a truly stellar drama worth seeking out, and it now sits alongside other recent Netflix hits such as fantastical horror Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, gritty crime drama Detective Hole and comedic mystery How to Get to Heaven From Belfast. Other recent additions to the platform include the second season of revenge anthology Beef, and cult drama Unchosen, which stars Christopher Eccleston and Asa Butterfield. Meanwhile, Netflix continues to bolster its library with high profile acquisitions. Amongst these, the streamer has recently added all season of Tina Fey's 30 Rock, a legendary comedy which also stars Jane Krakowski, Alec Baldwin, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan.

Best series to watch on Netflix right now Legends If you're looking for a fast-paced, tense drama based on a true story, then they don't come much more remarkable than this one. Here, The Gold creator Neil Forsyth has taken everything he learned on that acclaimed series to craft this six-part series about an incredible undercover operation which took place in the 1990s. The series stars Steve Coogan as Don, who recruits a group of ordinary customs workers to go undercover in some of Britain's most dangerous drugs gangs – all with very limited training.

encoded: If you're looking for inspiration for shows to watch on streaming service NOW, you've come to the right place. In 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. Meanwhile, an inexperienced but resourceful prison officer is tasked with moving a dangerous criminal mastermind from one secure location to another: that’s the recipe for streamlined thriller Prisoner that explodes into life when the convoy hits traffic in a remote Welsh road tunnel. You could also try Amadeus, which 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 The Wire, Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos. Scroll on for Radio Times's top picks, spanning recent releases and all-time greats.

encoded: If you're in the mood for a quality drama, BBC iPlayer is the place for you. A recent addition to the streaming service is The Cage, in which Sheridan Smith and Michael Socha star as a pair of casino workers with money problems, who decide to steal money from the casino’s safe. The Responder writer Tony Schumacher once again explores Liverpool’s criminal underbelly to great effect in this gritty thriller as the lives of this inept Bonnie and Clyde get more complicated and much, much worse. Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd is back with new drama series Half Man, following Ruben and Niall (Jamie Bell), two young men who become brothers in all but blood when they are brought into each others lives by circumstance. We chart the lives of these very different men over 30 years, leading up to an explosion of violence which takes place when Ruben attends Niall's wedding. Mint, the first TV series from film-maker Charlotte Regan, stars Lindsay Duncan and is a Romeo and Juliet-esque tale set in the criminal underworld of central Scotland and in the shadow of the area’s oil refinery and petrochemical plant. It’s also much better than it sounds. 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. You could try Babies, in which Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen are both superb in Stefan Golaszewski’s tender but painful drama about a couple experiencing the heartbreak of repeated pregnancy loss. There's also Death in Paradise spin-off Return to Paradise, sitting alongside dramas such Jack Thorne's adaptation of Lord of the Flies, James Norton's King & Conqueror and The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Then there are offbeat comedy dramas like The Gold and This Is Going to Hurt, while those looking for something more hard-hitting can turn to Blue Lights or a range of true-story adaptations like The Sixth Commandment.

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. 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. Meanwhile, the fifth and final series of the acclaimed and hugely satirical flagship (anti) superhero show The Boys has arrived. Spawning countless brutal and bloody memorable moments (Herogasm, anyone?!), hilarious memes, shock twists, and bold cultural, social, and political commentary, the biting and often gleefully sadistic series has undoubtedly become a cultural phenomenon, offering a refreshing counter-narrative to the often rinse-and-repeat formula of other superhero blockbusters. Scarpetta, the series based on Patricia Cornwell's bestselling crime novels, has 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. Prime Video has also become the home of 15-season epic Supernatural, as well as originals including The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time and The Assassin, the latter of which has been 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.

encoded: When it comes to documentaries, you know you can never go wrong with Netflix, which boasts a huge collection of fascinating non-fiction content. From headline-making titles like Tiger King and The Tinder Swindler, to true-crime shows like Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, Unsolved Mysteries and What Jennifer Did, there are docuseries for everyone's tastes. New to Netflix is A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough, an intimate documentary that revisits the naturalist's first encounter with a baby gorilla in 1970s Rwanda, following the animal’s descendants today in a moving, conservation-led story of family, legacy and survival. A recent release is Being Gordon Ramsay, which follows the celebrity chef as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet - the opening of five culinary experiences in one of London's tallest buildings, 22 Bishopsgate. But the six-part series also offers an emotional glance at his personal life, as he delves into his childhood and fatherhood. There's also Louis Theroux's latest documentary, Inside the Manosphere; thought-provoking film MH370: the Plane That Disappeared, which looks into the theories surrounding the vanishing of the Malaysian flight in 2014 and stranger-than-fiction tale Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, which tells the story of Kirat Assi, a woman who lost a decade of her life to a catfishing ordeal. For those crazy about canines, Gunther's Millions is the story of a German Shepherd said to have inherited $400 million from his countess owner in 1992 – a fortune managed by family friend Maurizio Mian. If those don't appeal, why not try Homicide: New York, the series that follows detectives and prosecutors as they revisit their most challenging homicide cases? Or how about Can I Tell You a Secret?, a chilling three-part series about the UK's worst cyber-stalking case? Or if natural history is more your thing, then Our Universe narrated by Morgan Freeman should hit the spot. Whatever you're after, there are so many grea…

In the years since Netflix first revolutionised how we consume film and TV, a whole host of rival platforms have launched to the point that it can now be difficult to know where to begin. The latest to join the fray for UK viewers is HBO Max. The service – which launched across the Atlantic way back in 2020 – has finally arrived on these shores, bringing with it a wealth of prestige TV including award-winning medical drama The Pitt. It joins services such as Disney+ – which arrived for UK audiences in March 2020 – and Apple TV, which has amassed a highly impressive catalogue of original films and shows in a relatively short time span, so there really is a wealth of options. But which is the best of the bunch? To answer that question, we’ve tested and compared the top streaming services available in the UK, breaking down price, the best shows and what kind of TV fan each one’s is suited to.

encoded: This year's International Women's Day is as important as ever, with 'accelerate action' being front and centre as the theme for 2025. As put by the campaign, Accelerate Action "emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality". The day, which falls on 8th March, is also an important reminder of the positive female representation that does exist in TV (albeit with improvements to always be made) that should be celebrated all year round. But if you're looking for an excuse to tuck into a new female-led show, then consider this it! From recent hits like The Marlow Murder Club which stars Samantha Bond, Jo Martin and Cara Horgan, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story or more fan favourite shows such as Fleabag, Sharon Horgan's Bad Sisters and Issa Rae's influential Insecure, there are a lovely selection of titles that boast stellar female talent both in front of and behind the camera. In honour of this year's International Women's Day, the RadioTimes.com team have put together a list of their favourite female-led central shows and where to watch them – so, happy IWD! High Potential (Disney Plus) High Potential stars Kaitlin Olson as a single mother with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book detective. The new Disney Plus series is based on a popular French series called Haut Potentiel Intellectuel, and has a wealth of female co-stars including Javicia Leslie, Amirah J and Judy Reyes, alongside Olson. - Katelyn Mensah The Marlow Murder Club (U&Drama) Based on Robert Thorogood's novel of the same name, The Marlow Murder Club follows three women – Judith Potts, Suzie Harris and Becks Starling – who investigate a series of murders and are taken on as advisors to the police by DS Tanika Malik. The female-led series was a welcome introduction to the cosy crime drama, for audiences and the stars themselves, with Cara Horgan previously telling Rad…

The best thing is, there's something for all the family with the likes of Kung Fu Panda and Harry Potter airing across the weekend, as well as the network premiere of Barbie and Netflix's new The Beautiful Game. For the classic film lovers, there's almost too many to choose from. The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Ben-Hur are just some of the movies airing across the weekend and are practically begging for some serious R&R time (with easter eggs in hand, of course). As well as blockbuster hits to get lost in, there are lots of TV shows to get acquainted with, either for catching up or a good ol' binge-watch. Renegade Nell, the first TV venture from Sally Wainwright after Happy Valley, comes to Disney Plus for a fantasy adventure fit for all ages. If you're in the mood for a mystery drama, Traces season 2 comes to BBC One this weekend starring Molly Windsor, Laura Fraser, Jennifer Spence and Martin Compston. A series of bombings plagues Dundee and the three women must utilise their forensic expertise to figure out what's happening. But that's not the only captivating series coming to our screens this week, with Steven Knight's This Town premiering this Easter Sunday and ITV's Passenger continuing to air. If you're more in the mood for some light-hearted entertainment, Saturday is the time for the anticipated Gladiators final – but who will be the Gladiators champion 2024? Elsewhere, Pilgrimage returns for its sixth season and seven celebrity pilgrims – including Michaela Strachan and Spencer Matthews – take a personal journey along a route that celebrates early Celtic Christian saints. Sir David Attenborough also helms a new documentary series exploring how Mammals have conquered the Earth, while the 20th season of Masterchef gets underway as Greg Wallace and John Torode once again see who has what it takes to knock thei…

encoded: The weekend isn't over yet, with the great Easter TV continuing this Bank Holiday Monday. There's a great mix of serious drama and light-hearted laughs on offer today – from gritty fare such as The Split and The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe to some cheery reality from Mary Berry and Travel Man Joe Lycett, meaning there's something for everyone, no matter your taste or mood. So whether you're still snacking on leftover chocolate or regretting binging the whole lot, here's what to watch this Easter Monday. What's on TV on Easter Monday? The Split - 9pm, BBC One The third and final season barrels towards a conclusion, with this episode focusing on how divorce lawyer Hannah is herself struggling with her separation from her husband Nathan. However, former lover Christie is now back in London – will that help or hinder things? If you just can't wait to see what comes next, the entire series is now available to binge on BBC iPlayer. Travel Man: 48 Hours in Cyprus - 8:30pm, Channel 4 After the exit of host Richard Ayoade back in 2019 – and certain events restricting international travel – new presenter Joe Lycett finally has a season of Travel Man under his belt. Tonight's episode sees comedian and The Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan join Lycett for a jolly in Cyprus, where they attempt to make halloumi, visit a condiment museum and ride a pair of mushroom boats – perfect light-hearted bank holiday fare. Mary Berry's Fantastic Feasts - 8pm, BBC One For a holiday so focused on food, it's only fitting that we get a helping of Mary Berry and her delicious meals. As usual, three novice cooks will be cooking for a loved one with Mary's help – in this case, Rima, mother-in-law Diane and best friend Noreen will be attempting to whip up a 30th birthday feast for Rima's husband Mark.

description: There are some sweet treats on TV this Easter Day.
encoded: Easter may not rival Christmas when it comes to television just yet but there are still some absolute corkers to enjoy this Easter Sunday. From Jodie Whittaker's penultimate Doctor Who adventure to another instalment of Gentleman Jack and a bizarre new true crime dramatisation, there are some truly blockbuster offerings this bank holiday weekend. So grab what's left of your Easter Eggs – here's what to watch this Easter Sunday. What's on TV on Easter Sunday? Doctor Who - 7:10pm, BBC One Time is ticking for Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, who will only have one episode left after this Easter special. However, there's plenty of fun to have before then, as the Doctor, Yaz and Dan take on classic baddies the Sea Devils, who are making their first appearance in the show since 1984. They've been reimagined as swashbuckling pirates since then, however – fitting, as this swashbuckling romp will also see them cross paths with pirate queen Madame Ching in the 19th century high seas. Ahoy, me hearties! Gentleman Jack - 9pm, BBC One Following a rather lengthy COVID-19 induced delay, the story of LGBTQ+ trailblazer Anne Lister continues after Gentleman Jack finally returned last week. The entire second series is currently available to binge on BBC iPlayer, but terrestrial viewers can now enjoy episode two, which sees Anne attempt to enjoy her honeymoon with wife Anne Walker, only to bump into an old flame. The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe - 9pm, ITV This bizarre true crime story from the 2000s gets a dramatisation on ITV, starting today and airing nightly until Wednesday. Debt-ridden John Darwin decides to fake his own death in a canoeing accident with the help of his wife Anne, who consoles their oblivious sons. However, drama of The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe doesn't end there - as this true story has many more twists and turns to come. Idris Elba's Fight School - 9pm, BBC 2 Actor and musician Idris Elba reflects on how boxing made him the man he is today in this new reality ser…

Saturday teatime has long been a primetime period in the British TV schedule, and a bank holiday weekend just means extra helpings of all our favourite entertainment shows. So from celebrity gameshow specials to the grand return of Britain's Got Talent and a highly contested FA Cup rematch, here's what to watch on Easter Saturday. What's on TV on Easter Saturday? Britain's Got Talent - 8pm, ITV After nearly two years off our screens and a virtual audience in the 2020 finals, Britain's Got Talent comes roaring back with the return of a live crowd, head judge Simon Cowell and plenty of contestants, ranging from the weird to the wonderful. Expect the level of talent to be particularly high this year – Ant and Dec pressed their golden buzzer after only three days of auditions! Killing Eve - 9:15pm, BBC One Killing Eve reached its conclusion on BBC iPlayer some time ago, but now terrestrial viewers have a chance to catch this penultimate episode before the show meets the same fate as Villanelle's many victims. This episode sees Carolyn decode the message she and Eve intercepted, while Villanelle is in pursuit of the Twelve assassin who shot her – who turns out to be a nasty piece of work. FA Cup Football - 11:30am, BBC One A four-day weekend is good enough news already but throw in some FA Cup-quality football and sports fans have twice the reason to celebrate. All four semi-finals are free-to-air this weekend with BBC One kicking off proceedings with a double bill. First up West Ham Women will be taking on Manchester City Women at 12:15pm, with their male counterparts playing at 3:30pm as Manchester City challenge Liverpool – less than a week after their Premier League draw.

Other highlights include the final episode of long-running sci-fi drama The Walking Dead and a trio of documentaries launching to celebrate Earth Day, including the latest offering from Disneynature. Read on for more information on what's coming to Disney Plus in April 2022.

Cillian Murphy’s character is set to go up against Sam Claflin’s Oswald Mosley once again, while we can also expect the return of Tom Hardy's Alfie Solomons, with Knight promising that Peaky Blinders will go out with “a bang”. New additions to the series include Boiling Point star Stephen Graham and Amber Anderson. Peaky Blinders will premiere on BBC One in early 2022. Sanditon season 2 Three years after the first season of this beloved Jane Austen adaptation aired – and following a large fan-led campaign to save it from cancellation – Sanditon will return for a second season this year, although without Theo James, who played the main love interest Sidney Parker in season one. The season will follow Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) as she returns to the titular seaside town of Sanditon and quickly become…

description: It's a brand new year - but lots of old favourites are returning tonight.
encoded: Christmas may have come and gone - but it has some serious competition from New Year's Day, which is airing some of the very best Christmas TV. Plenty of TV heavyweights are getting into the seasonal spirit tonight, with Doctor Who, Taskmaster, Mrs Brown's Boys and The Great British Bake Off all kicking off 2022 with brand new specials. Meanwhile a brand new series of outlandish guessing game The Masked Singer starts tonight, while those after a good old-fashioned thriller can catch Jamie Dornan in The Tourist. And for a nice easy watch after a long night, look no further than the Downton Abbey film! Here are your first TV picks for 2022 - and happy new year! Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks – 7pm, BBC One The Christmas break wouldn't be complete without a Doctor Who special - which is now returning in its now-usual New Year's Day slot. Joining Jodie Whittaker's Doctor are Aisling Bea (Home Sweet Home Alone), Adjani Salmon (Dreaming Whilst Black), Pauline McLynn (Father Ted) and, of course, Daleks! New Year's always seemed a fitting setting for a timey-wimey Doctor Who adventure, especially with The Doctor and her friends seemingly stuck in a time loop - let's hope they escape in time for Jodie Whittaker's final two specials! The Masked Singer - 7pm, ITV As with last year, the bizarre part talent show, part guessing game returns during the festive period, with a whole host of new celebrities donning extravagant outfits and performing to Joel Dommett and the panel. The Masked Singer has already revealed the season 3 contestants - well their costumes at least - so get ready for another round of outlandish guesses, shock reveals and dodgy attempts to hide accents! The Great Festive Bake Off - 7:40pm, Channel 4 After Christmas Day's It's A Sin special, it's time to welcome back some former bakers in The Great British Bake Off's annual reunion episode. Kim-Joy and Jon from series 9 and Hermine and Rowan from series 11 will be returning for three seasonal baking challenges -…

description: All the best TV on during New Year's Eve Eve - as you might want an evening in ahead of tomorrow.
encoded: That Christmas feeling is fading but New Year's is fast approaching - which means that another slew of seasonal specials is heading our way. A few of them are airing tonight, with The Great British Sewing Bee receiving a celebrity edition, while Jimmy Carr hosts a brand new game show sure to work the grey matter as well as the funny bones. For something a bit more serious, then David Attenborough is returning to our screens for a fascinating look at a recently discovered mammoth graveyard, which also has a few human finds also. Here's the best Christmas TV for Thursday 30th December. The Jungle Book - 3:35pm, BBC One Jon Favreau is busy with a little project called The Mandalorian and his Marvel gigs right now, but before then he directed several animal-focused remakes for Disney. His first attempt was this live-action remake of the 1967 Jungle Book, which uses impressive CGI to tell the story of Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves who becomes the target of the fearsome Shere Khan. A star-studded cast help bring the animals to life, including Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba and Christopher Walken. EastEnders - 7:40pm, BBC One Mick is the latest target of wicked Walford woman Janine now that Linda is away, but Nancy has caught on - and wastes no time sending the schemer on her way. Elsewhere Denise finally allows Phil to spend time with son Raymond - but Kat realises all is not as it seems... Attenborough and the Mammoth Graveyard - 8pm, BBC One It's always an event when a new David Attenborough documentary is released - but this time the naturalist will not be looking at animals in the wild, but rather those long dead. Keen fossil hunter Attenborough joins archaeologists and palaeontologists excavating a quarry near Swindon which was recently identified as a prehistoric mammoth graveyard, which also features human finds thought to be hundreds of thousands of years old. So expect to not just learn more about mammoths - but also ourselves! Judy - 9pm, BBC Two R…
