As you may have heard, the Queen is no longer with us. But we’ve got some good news for any lonely corgis in need of a nostalgia fix…

All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque’s anti-war novel detailing the horrors of life in the trenches has already been filmed twice (most notably in 1930). But this is the first version made by a German director, and is the country’s Oscar hope for Best International Film this year. Don’t expect song and dance numbers. Film / Netflix, 28 Oct

Blockbuster

Readers of a certain age will surely remember the golden age of video rentals, where a Friday evening trip to Blockbuster to pick out a film could be the highlight of the week. This comedy series stars Randall Park as the manager of the world’s last outlet of that fabled store, determined to keep the analogue flame burning in a digital world. S1 / Netflix, 3 Nov

My Policeman

So, can Harry Styles act? Does it really matter? This ’50s-set drama sees the pop icon don the uniform of a Brighton copper sitting at the point of a love triangle: he’s married to a wonderful woman (Emma Corrin) but having an affair with a man (David Dawson) at the same time. Tears will be shed by millions of teenage stans. Film / Prime Video, 4 Nov

The English

Emily Blunt plays a British aristocrat who arrives in the Wild West looking for revenge in this Amazon/BBC miniseries, which looks brutal and beautiful in equal measure. Blunt’s Lady Cornelia Locke teams up with a Native American scout, and the pair gradually uncover a shared past as they travel through the dusty, bloody frontier landscape. S1 / iPlayer, 11 Nov

Tulsa King

Created by some of the minds behind Sicario, The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, this drama sees Sly Stallone installed as a mob boss in the American backwater that is Tulsa – possibly as a convenient way for his superiors to be rid of him. Can this fresh-out-of-prison mafioso build a crew and establish a new empire in Oklahoma? S1 / Paramount+, 13 Nov

Welcome to Chippendales

Did you know that the legendary Chippendales – a US troupe of dancing beefcakes responsible for sending millions of women gaga in their 1990s heyday – were the brainchild of an Indian immigrant born in Mumbai? This drama series charts Somen ‘Steve’ Banerjee’s life and career. S1 / Disney+, 22 Nov

The Crown

Netflix’s excellent drama moves to the early 1990s and shakes things up by once more replacing its entire cast. In come British TV royalty: Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Pryce as Liz’n’Phil, Dominic West as Chazza and – bit of a leftfield casting choice, this – Jonny Lee Miller as John Major. But much attention will fall on Elizabeth Debicki, who takes over the role of Diana… because she’s Australian. Outrageous! Write to your MP at once! S5 / Netflix, 9 Nov
