The Dry

The Dry follows 35-year-old recovering alcoholic, Shiv (Roisin Gallagher, The Fall), returning to her hometown of Dublin after a raucous couple of years in London. But staying on the wagon is a bit easier said than done.

 

Reel Britannia

What exactly is British cinema? That is the question posed in this love letter to the history of modern cinema created right here in Blighty, featuring interviews with some of the biggest names in the game, including Ken Loach (I, Daniel Blake), Mike Leigh (Mr. Turner), Stephen Frears (Philomena) and Mike Newell (Four Weddings And A Funeral).

Murder In Provence


Endeavour’
s Roger Allam stars as French investigating judge Antoine Verlaque alongside Father Brown’s Nancy Carroll in this new BritBox Original. In the picturesque French city of Aix-en-Provence, the pair investigate the more sinister underbelly lurking in the shadows of their beautiful surroundings. Based on ML Longworth’s crime novels, this three-part series is well worth your time.

 

Magpie Murders


Based on the bestseller by Anthony Horowitz, this BritBox Original is a gripping and dark mystery tale that you won’t be able to switch off. Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones) is author Alan Conway whose editor, Susan Ryeland (Lesley Manville, Mum), can’t wait to read his latest novel. There’s just one problem: it’s missing a final chapter. Actually, there’s a bigger problem. Alan is also missing...

 

Spitting Image

The classic satire series is back in this BritBox Original. No public figure is off-limits as they get the puppet treatment – whether it’s the sporting world, reality stars or politicians, everyone is fair game. Fabulously funny and ridiculously rude, it’ll have the rich and famous hiding behind their sofas.

 

Only Fools And Horses

Arguably the greatest British comedy of all time can be watched in its entirety on BritBox. From those early days in Nelson Mandela House right up until the final episodes, watch Del, Rodney and Grandad (and then Uncle Albert) as they wheel and deal their way to becoming millionaires. Grab a Baileys and cherryade and settle in.
