Hard Cell
After the critical savaging dished out to The Nan Movie – who thought that was a good idea? – Catherine Tate has some ground to make up.
So here, hoping to wipe icky memories of Nan from our minds, in a prison mockumentary comedy that at least proves she can rock a whole range of outfits.
The idea, if that’s not too much of a stretch, is that Tate’s inmates are staging a production of West Side Story for a TV show. The results are gruelling.
Available now.

Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted
Given that this documentary about the Supermarionation genius behind Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet is made by his son James, you might expect this profile of Gerry Anderson to be something of a hagiography.
But Anderson Sr emerges as a very conflicted individual, much more in touch with his creative than his personal relationships. Those Tracy boys always did seem a little uptight.
Available tomorrow (Thursday).
Disney+
The Kardashians
You didn’t really think you’d seen the back of Klan K did you?
The family franchise which – and getting mega-rich in the process – are back to share their , and extraordinary bad taste in interior decor.
Fans will lap it up, non-Konverts will shake their heads in despair.
Available tomorrow (Thursday).
Apple TV+
Roar
This offbeat eight-part anthology, based on short stories by Cecelia Ahern, certainly packs some star power in its set of quirky feminist fables.
Glow duo Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin both feature while Nicole Kidman’s episode is called ‘The Woman Who Ate Photographs’ and Merritt Wever is in a tale called ‘The Woman Who Was Fed By A Duck’. That should give you the taste of it.
Available Friday.
Prime Video
Outer Range
Cattle ranching meets the supernatural in the wide-open wilds of Wyoming as family kingpin Royal Abbott (a magnificently grizzly Josh Brolin) tries to keep his clan from busting apart following the arrival of oddball drifter Autumn – a very different role for English actor Imogen Poots.
For fans of mumbly tough guys and striking scenery.
Episodes one and two available Friday.
