This is a recording of the Broadway version of the acclaimed musical Hamilton, available to stream or download on Disney+.
It is about the life of Alexander Hamiltion who was one of the founding fathers of America.
It is a confusing and at times dull story for non-experts in US history particularly as many of the cast double up on roles.
It stars in Manuel Miranda as Hamilton and Jonathan Groff as a very funny King George III.

This is a limited release of a dramatisation of Sebastian Faulkes’s WW1 story.
It was filmed during lockdown with each performer filmed separately and the backgrounds put in later, and narration from the author.
It focuses on British Officer Stephen Wraysford and his life before the war, where he rescues an abused wife. It also looks at his time in the trenches during the war and how that affected him and those around him.
It jumps back and with a lot between time periods which is a bit confusing.
