Hard to believe it\u2019s two years since Rachael Gunn headed to the Olympics to take part in the breakdancing competition\u2026 and became a viral sensation in the worst way possible. This documentary looks at what it was like to go viral overnight and become the subject of misinformation, memes and conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re either dying to watch this car-based series or you don\u2019t have much interest, but sure look. It\u2019s two years since Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May drove off into the Botswana sunset for the final time and now The Grand Tour has brand new presenters: James Engelsman, Thomas Holland, and Francis Bourgeois. This season sees them crossing the Angolan desert in track cars, exploring Malaysia\u2019s car culture and trying performance cars in California. Nice work if you can get it.<\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh aren\u2019t a pair we thought we\u2019d see together in a spy thriller, but every year contains new surprises, doesn\u2019t it?
