Episode 177

Candy Cane Lane | Thriller 40 | Mayfair Witches | The Doll Factory

This week on Bingewatch we have nostalgia, Christmas, witches and dolls, as Ian MacEwan and Hannah Fernando review the biggest new shows on UK streaming services this week.

Eddie Murphy is the hapless neighbour whose deal with a magic elf brings the 12 days of Christmas to life in Prime Video's Candy Cane Lane.

Based on Elisabeth MacNeal's novel, The Doll Factory is a Victorian period drama about a porclain doll painter who aspires to become an artist.

A neurosurgeon discovers she's the heir to a family of witches. Classic. Maufair Witches is available on BBC iPlayer now.

It's one of the most iconic albums of all time, so it's only right that on its 40th anniversary, Michael Jackson's thriller gets its own documentary. Thriller 40 is on Showtime and Paramount Plus.
