10 easy-to-watch series you can binge this Bank Holiday
While many people are ready to dive into a mammoth binge session when a Bank Holiday rolls around, others prefer some easy viewing. From rewatching come classic sitcoms to exploring some new series that should be on your watchlist, you truly have an abundance of options to beat the Sunday scaries and relax in style. Here's 10 series we here at think you should be watching this Bank Holiday Weekend. This multi-award winning comedy is always high up our list for a rewatch, and with episodes not being too long, you can easliy rewatch the whole series in less than a week. For those who have never seen it, the series stars father and son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Annie Murphy as the wealthy Rose family who lose all their money and are forced to go live in the town of Schitt's Creek. Ahead of the second season arriving on August 6, what better time to either watch or rewatch season one of Wednesday? The young Addams is changing school and will be attending Nevermore Academy for the semester. While she tries to not live in her parents' acedemic shadows, she uncovers a murder mystery that only she can solve. Based on the film of the same name, this Tina Fey-co-created series has eight 30-minute episodes, meaning you can knock out the first season in on night. The series follows six friends who meet up every season and how their lives change over the course of a year. The show has already been renewed for a second season and we couldn't recommend it more. A series that had viewers gripped from the first episode was the Disney+ series Paradise starring Sterling K Brown and James Marsden. It's a show that is hard to describe without spoiling the mega plot-twist in the conclusion of the first episode, but we'll just say it stars a Secret Service agent who is in charge of protecting the President of the United States and… well… things go wrong. Another show that has a new season incoming is the massively popular Only Murders in the Building which has taken the true crime podcast trope and made a fictional series out of it. Starring Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez, with some megastar cameos and supporting cast each season, there are four seasons for fans to feed their murder mystery appetites now streaming, and season five lands September 9. While it's been 15 years since the show ended, Scrubs is still a popular series for a rewatch. And, considering it's getting a reboot with many of the main cast returning, what better time to pop it back on the telly? Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag was the show everyone was going crazy for when it was airing, and even though it's only two seasons with a total of 12 episodes, it's a must-see show. The show is adapted from Waller-Bridge's 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe one-woman play of the same name (which won a Fringe First Award) and introduced the world to Andrew Scott's Hot Priest. Based on the book series by Lee Childs, Reacher stars Alan Ritchson as the titular character who always seems to find himself getting into trouble and needing to help solve a mystery or two. The series has three seasons now streaming, and the fourth is currently in production. A show that might have gone under the radar is The Big Door Prize which stars our very own Chris O'Dowd and follows the residents of a small town which is changed when a mysterious machine appears that promises to reveal everyone's true potential. Similar to many of the shows on this list, it's only 30-minutes an episode and has two seasons now streaming, but alas, that's your lot. This entry might be the most difficult to get a hold of in the Rep of Ireland without a VPN, but the UK version of Ghosts is definitely worth the effort and has five seasons to watch. The show follows a group of ghosts from different historical periods haunting a country house while sharing it with its new living occupants, and stars a slew of familiar faces from the British comedy scene such as Taskmaster alumni Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Mathew Baynton, and Lolly Adefope.

Oasis dedicate song to ‘people who can't be here tonight' at Wembley gig
Oasis dedicated Live Forever to 'all the people who can't be here tonight' during their Wembley Stadium gig on Sunday, after a fan fell to his death at the band's concert on Saturday. The touching moment came as the Manchester band brought to a close their first run of five gigs at the venue as part of their Live 25 tour. A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being 'found with injuries consistent with a fall'. Addressing fans on Sunday night after finishing Whatever, singer Liam Gallagher said: 'This one's for all the people who can't be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean, and aren't they looking lovely. Live Forever.' The band then played the track of the same name. The tribute came during a crowd-pleasing set packed with their biggest hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, with the group set to return to the national football stadium for two further dates in September. Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived on stage hand-in-hand, opening with Hello, from their 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, prompting mass football terrace-style singalongs for an opening salvo of fan favourites that included Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory. Before Roll With It, Liam joked to the crowd that guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs wanted to sing Bonehead's Bank Holiday, an album track from (What's The Story) Morning Glory? During 1994 standalone single Whatever, the band made a nod to their Beatles influence by including a snippet of Octopus's Garden, from 1969's Abbey Road album. Oasis fans on Wembley Way (Lucy North/PA) Before Half The World Away, Noel asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester in the crowd, receiving a number of boos. He replied: 'None of you would be here if it wasn't for the city of Manchester.' The set climaxed with fireworks erupting over Wembley as the band played Champagne Supernova. Before the final song, Liam told the crowd: 'Nice one for putting up with us after all these years.' The run of concerts has been the first time they have appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour. After the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
