6 Days
Who’s watching: Rianna Clark – Events Assistant
What is it: Released only 2 weeks ago, this hostage thriller starring Jamie Bell (yep that’s Billy Elliot all grown up!) recounts the real-life story of the tense, six-day standoff at the Iranian Embassy back in April 1980, and the successive rescue mission lead by the elite British SAS. Eeek!
Why you’ll love it: Okay, so the majority reading this may not remember or have even been alive during this event 37 years ago but none the less this ticking-clock, action fuelled thriller will have you (as it did the whole of London) engrossed until the very end.

Stranger Things 2
Who’s watching: Lottie Sharp – Shots Supervisor
What is it: As you probably know by now “Stranger Things” is arguably one of Netflix’s most popular original shows of all time and after a year since the kids discovered the demogorgon of the Upside Down, it’s back for an explosive second season.
Why you’ll love it: Well to start, the worlds favourite 12 year olds are back and just as loveable as ever. Will finally gets some air time from the Upside Down, Dustin has new teeth (grrr), there may or may not be a Nancy-Steve-Jonathon love triangle and theres most certainly more shocking insights into Hawkins Lab and Eleven’s existence.
