Camden

Disney+

Wednesday

As rents climb and the market gets tackier ("how much for a phone case?!"), Camden has slowly become synonymous with gentrification. Today, it has the feeling of a place that used to be iconic, now kept in suspended animation so the tourists can come and gawp.

Whatever state it's in now, British music would be very different without NW1, as this documentary executive produced by Dua Lipa (Barbie) sets out to show. The four-part series features appearances from Pete Doherty, Noel Gallagher, Questlove and more, all eager to wax lyrical about the unique place Camden has in their hearts.

We Are Lady Parts

Thursday

Channel 4, 10.00pm

The best all-women Muslim punk band this side of the 1970s is back. Having finished their first tour, the quintet set their sights on recording their debut album. It's not all plain sailing though, as a rival band threatens to muscle in on their patch, which was precarious even before the group had to deal with competition.

In the sitcom's second series, tensions are high and amps cranked all the way up. Expect appearances from comedy royalty Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me) and activist Malala Yousafzai.

T20 Cricket Final

Thursday

BBC Two, 6.15pm

The Oval plays host to the England and Pakistan men’s teams as they vie for victory for the fourth and final time in a series of T20 matches. The Men’s World Cup begins on the 1 June, making Thursday’s fixture the last time for England – captained by Jos Buttler –  to warm up. England’s first World Cup game is against Scotland on 4 June, in Barbados.

T20 is a famously shortened version of cricket, which is why this match is scheduled to last just three and three quarter hours.

Eric

Thursday

Netflix

Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) is a dad in the 1980s, with the glasses to prove it. He plays Vincent, a puppeteer behind an enormously successful children's show. When his own kid goes missing on the way to school, the New York dad slowly loses his grip on reality.

He becomes convinced that if he can get Eric, a puppet invented by his son, onto TV, little Edgar will come home. Oh, and Vincent hallucinates that Eric is real, in full seven-foot glory.

Kafka

Friday

Channel 4

Franz Kafka is known worldwide for some of the best fiction your dad has pretended to read. Now, the Prague-born writer is getting the biographical drama treatment, with Joel Basman (The King's Man) in the lead.

Streaming on Channel 4 under the Walter Presents banner, the six part series resists the urge to paint Kafka as a man more tormented than his protagonists. Instead, it highlights that he participated in the very bureaucracy his prose rallied against. Not only that, he excelled at it, as an insurance clerk indispensable to his (very supportive) employers.
