The Inbetweeners reunion, new episodes of Luther, a documentary on 1916, and some class films.
It’s perfectly fine to be sitting at home on New Year’s Day while nursing a hangover and silently promising to yourself that you’ll make better choices in 2019.
Hey, we’re not judging!
This being said, there’s probably no better day to spend on the couch because there’s some brilliant TV on the box.
Here are some of the best shows and films for you to enjoy.
