Staying In
Watch Hijack
Luther superstar Idris Elba has been fonder of the silver screen in recent years, but 2023’s explosive Apple TV drama Hijack solidified his status as a gripping TV lead. Two years on, the thriller – which tells the tale of a plane hijacking in real time over the course of seven episodes – returns for series 2, and Sam Nelson (Elba) is back at the centre of another unfolding crisis.

The chance to play with, and “Anya-ise” everyday toiletry essentials has been the most fun project. I hope it will animate bathrooms and bring smiles to people’s mornings in January, when we will all need a lift. Our village wouldn’t be a village without a Boots...’ 10 January – 8 March, anyahindmarch.com
Property Of The Day
Rumour has it that while Ariana Grande was in London filming for Wicked, the Holly Bush in Hampstead became her favourite go-to pub: ‘I left my heart at a pub in Hampstead’, she sings in her ode to the celebrity-loved region of London. And now you can live next door to that very same boozer. Just keep your eyes peeled in case Grande ever makes a trip back to Blighty.
