Series for families
The Great British Bake Off
Is there a show that provides more comfort and content? Don’t think so… Why make your own bakes when you can watch people do it with some innuendos thrown in for good measure?!
The television show has ten series and over twenty-five specials! Although, we don’t recommend watching if you’re feeling hangry.
The Simpsons
It seems as if the Simpson family have been on our screens since time began, but it only started in 1989. The TV comedy is a satirical take on the modern family – it’s even predicted some real life events, such as corona virus…

Doctor Who
This sci-fi show has always been highly rated in pop culture, yet when Jodie Whittaker was cast as the first female ‘Time Lord’, it hit a whole new height.
There’s more than enough episodes to survive at least six weeks of self-isolation!

Will & Grace
Not only did this show make history for having the first gay principal characters, but it’s also full of laughter and tears.
The (second) final series is airing now in America, but you may as well watch the whole thing whilst you have the chance to stay at home.
When the kids go to bed
Fleabag
It’s highly like that you’ve heard of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag is her brain child. Sex, sadness and a star-studded cast you won’t be mad that you started it.
The show comprises of two series with six episodes each, it’s the perfect watch for 14 days of isolation to see if you develop symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).
Gavin & Stacey
Is there anyone on the planet that doesn’t like this programme? Humour and innuendoes with a helping of reality and characters that we are all obsessed with; it seems there’s never been a better time to rewatch this comedy.
However, it might be best to not take inspiration from Smithy (James Corden) in this scene – the poor delivery drivers!

Outlander
What more could you need to pass the time than history, time travel and a very good looking Scot? Outlander focuses on the love story between Jamie Fraser from 1743 and Claire Randall from 1946. It might sound like it doesn’t work, but trust us, it really does.
If you’re looking for more ways to pass the time indoors thanks to the coronavirus infection, the show is actually based on Diana Gabaldon’s novel series; currently comprising of eight books with more to come!
