The weather is colder. The nights are longer. Thankfully, the TV shows and movies are even better!
We all need as many recommendations as we can possibly get right now, as the winter arrives and we're all going to be spending a lot more time indoors, and spending a lot more time with who we love the most... OUR TVS!
NOW TV will be adding some absolute crackers this November via the launch of Sky's Christmas Collection, which will include Die Hard, Love Actually, The Holiday, and the Harry Potter series. That will be available from Friday, November 6, and full details on NOW TV passes can be found right
here.
Below is not the full list of what NOW TV will be adding throughout November, but these are some of the highlights that everyone will want to be checking out over the next month.
