Week 46 4oD Highlights

31 October 2011

Just look how good we are to you...

PhoneShop, series 2

It's back and on 4oD for a second series. Mug punters beware. The PhoneShop is ready, and most definitely open for business... Be sure to catch up on last week's episode.

The Inbetweeners

Recognise Lance from PhoneShop? That's because you've probably seen Martin Trenaman playing Simon's dad in the now-classic sitcom about a bunch of middle-class adolescent lads. Welcome to a world of futile crushes, sibling brawls, getting drunk too quickly and casting constant aspersions about your friends' sexuality... It's all here on 4oD. Better get your wellies.

The Queen's Hidden Cousins (Link TBC)

The sad but true story of Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon, nieces to the Queen Mother and first cousins to the Queen; two girls who were born with learning difficulties and, as a result, spent most of their lives in an institution, hidden away from the public gaze at a time when attitudes towards the learning disabled were very different to now.

The Queen's Lost Uncle

This documentary from the 4oD vaults details the little-known story of the Queen's scandalous uncle, Prince George, Duke of Kent, who died in mysterious circumstances in 1942.

Confessions of an Undercover Cop (Link TBC)

With exclusive access to Mark Kennedy, Britain's most controversial undercover police officer, this gripping and revelatory documentary tells the definitive inside story of how Mark Kennedy went from being a regular south London police officer with a wife and two children to becoming Mark Stone, who for eight years lived a remarkable double life as an undercover cop and dedicated activist.

Fresh Meat

Fresh Meat concludes this week but you've still got a month more on 4oD so you can catch up on anything you may have missed. This comedy drama series from the creators of Peep Show about the hilarious, and often painful, truths of being a student is not to be missed.

Hill Street Blues

Gritty and groundbreaking US ensemble drama that chronicles the lives of the overworked staff of an inner city American police precinct. Remember, let's be careful out there...
