What’s leaving Sky and NOW in March / April 2022?
David Farnor | On 28, Mar 2022
Sky’s growing number of original shows and ever-expanding catalogue of blockbusters is handy for keeping your days and nights occupied, but before you break open new box sets or devour some blockbusting films, don’t miss your chance to catch some modern gems before their rights expire and they depart.
That means taking care not to miss out some of Sky’s originals and exclusives, such as The Enfield Haunting. Or, if you’ve got Sky Cinema, The High Note and The King of Staten Island.
This is your last chance to stream the following:
TV
The Enfield Haunting: Season 1 – 31st March
Dinnerladies: Season 1 to 2 – 1st April
Created, written, co-produced by and starring the comedic national treasure that is Victoria Wood, dinnerladies follows the lives of caterers and regular customers in a canteen and doesn’t get a single ingredient wrong. One of a number of seminal BBC comedies departing Sky’s back catalogue, including Red Dwarf, The Vicar of Dibley, Porridge, The Royle Family, Porridge and Only Fools & Horses.
Blackadder – 1st April
To miss a chance to binge your way through Rowan Atkinson’s iconic, sarcasm-laden historical sitcom, you’d have to be madder than Mad Jack McMad.
Fawlty Towers – 1st April
Blackadder’s title of Funniest TV Show Ever is rivalled strongly by this masterful piece of comedy from John Cleese. The Monty Python veteran is on flawless form as Basil Fawlty, the uptight manager of a rubbish hotel, while Prunella Scales is delightfully annoying as his wife, Sybil. Andrew Sachs as the clueless waiter, Manuel, brings the physical comedy, while Connie Booth quietly steals the show as the maid.
Inside No 9: Season 1 to 4 – 1st April
Nothing says a good night in like a spooky horror story, and who better to inject chills directly into your spine than this impeccably crafted anthology of comedy and horror from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton?
Wonders of the Universe: Season 1 – 1st April
Brian Cox’s accessible, entertaining and visually stunning science series is amazing.
