The Lost City (12 December)

Sandra Bullock stars in The Lost City as an author of trashy romantic adventure novels, who finds herself kidnapped by a weirdo businessman (Daniel Radcliffe).

The Flatshare (all episodes from 1 December)

This high-concept comedy series follows two young Londoners who have come up with a novel way of getting round the nightmare rental market. They share a home and indeed a bed, but never cross paths with each other — or at least that's the idea.

Naturally though, their circumstances begin to intermingle and each gets drawn into the other's life.

Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain play the stars in this limited series directed by The Road's John Hillcoat and based on a book written by the couple's daughter Georgette Jones.

This eight-part documentary lifts the lid on the world of Hollywood hairdressing, where the perfect style can set customers back thousands of dollars. The series focuses on the ambitious stylists working their way ip the industry ladder through these high-end salons, making their way in an ecosystem where names and relationships can make or break a career.

Liam Gallagher: Knebworth 22 (7 December)

In 1996, Oasis played to a quarter of a million people over two nights at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire. More than 25 years later, one half of that duo returned to the iconic stage, with this 60-minute documentary exploring the preparations for Liam Gallagher's performance.
