PLUS ONE
ON THE WEB
If you like your web series smart, energetic and hella funny, then you’ll love Plus One, a thoroughly enjoyable comedy about drama, friendship and falling for someone you shouldn’t. If you don’t want to be BFFs with Dannielle Owens-Reid and Mo Welch after this, then you’re watching it wrong.

JEANETTE WINTERSON: MY MONSTER AND ME
CATCH UP
First shown in 2012, nearly 30 years after the release of her debut novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson opens up about her extraordinary childhood on her return to Lancashire. As part of BBC Four’s Imagine season, Winterson recounts how was adopted and brought up to be a missionary. But the writer followed a different path: she found literature, fell in love with a girl and escaped to university. Following the release of her memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal, Jeanette Winterson tells the story of her recent breakdown and suicide attempt, her quest to find her birth mother, and how books helped her survive the toughest times in her life.
