The countdown is on for a cracking week of telly and film in the UK, with Netflix's Enola Holmes 3 leading the charge! From Wednesday, July 1st, get ready to be transported back to the thrilling world of Victorian-era mysteries as Millie Bobby Brown reprises her role as the brilliant and plucky teenage detective. In this latest instalment, Enola's wedding plans are put on hold when her famous brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) is kidnapped – cue the obligatory 'no time for nuptials' plot twist!
The creative team behind Enola Holmes 3 has a proven track record of success, with acclaimed screenwriter Jack Thorne and director Philip Barantini reuniting to bring this captivating story to life. Their partnership is as slick as a well-executed Sherlockian deduction – and their previous collaborations (including the hit Netflix series Adolescence) are a testament to their magic.
But it's not just Enola who's grabbing the headlines; other highlights this week include an in-depth look at American counter-culture with HBO Max's Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story. This fascinating documentary, produced by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker, delves into the life of Robin Byrd – a local New York celebrity and LGBTQ+ activist who took on the establishment in the 1970s. Her story is an inspiration to anyone who's ever felt like they're taking on the world.
For those looking for some cinematic classics, Film4 has a treat in store with Billy Wilder's witty A Foreign Affair, airing Monday at 12:55 pm. This satirical screwball comedy is as sharp-tongued as Enola herself, taking aim at post-war politics and relationships.
Other treats on offer this week include Sky Cinema Greats' The First Wives Club, a deliciously over-the-top comedy starring Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton as three divorcees out for revenge. And don't miss BBC Three's meta-comedy A Cock and Bull Story – the first collaboration between Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan that's just as clever as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
British cinema gets a look-in too, with Shola Amoo's critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama The Last Tree screening on Film4 Wednesday at 1:25 am. And horror fans can indulge in Werner Herzog's haunting classic Nosferatu the Vampyre, featuring Klaus Kinski and Isabelle Adjani.
