TV SHOWS
Mr Bigstuff, Season 2
BAFTA-winner Danny Dyer (Rivals) returns alongside series creator Ryan Sampson (Brassic, Plebs) and Harriet Webb (Big Boys, I May Destroy You) in the second series of Sky’s hit comedy Mr Bigstuff. The first series earned acclaim as Sky Max’s highest-rated new comedy in three years — and now, the dysfunctional family drama continues.
Set in suburban Essex, Series 2 picks up just two weeks after the shocking revelation that the brothers’ dad is still alive. While Lee (Dyer) and Glen (Sampson) react very differently to the news, they’re soon thrown together again on a chaotic mission to find him. Meanwhile, Kirsty’s in charge of both boardroom and bedroom affairs, but one misplaced kiss and a looming blackmailer could derail everything. Expect fiery confrontations, gut-busting laughs, and that trademark Essex chaos.
S.W.A.T., Season 8
Shemar Moore returns as Hondo for the explosive final season of S.W.A.T. (before Hondo heads for the new spin-off...) In this last run, the elite tactical unit faces personal and professional trials, including a tense case involving the disappearance of students and a school bus driver with a direct link to Hondo’s past. Also joining the team is Devin Gamble (played by Annie Ilonzeh), a cop with a complicated family history that casts a shadow over her future.
Fire Country, Season 3
The heat is back on as Max Thieriot returns as Bode Leone in the third season of Fire Country. Now a free man, Bode continues to battle Northern California’s wildfires with Cal Fire while navigating life, love, and redemption.

Hill
This moving Sky Original documentary tells the extraordinary story of Damon Hill, who in 1996 followed in the footsteps of his legendary father Graham Hill to become a Formula 1 World Champion.

A must-watch for motorsport fans and anyone moved by underdog victories.
