Disney+ deal - How to get a subscription for £1.99 as part of huge new offer
Disney+ has launched a fantastic streaming deal, offering subscriptions for just £1.99, saving customers 60 percent on the usual price. The House of Mouse's streamer has initiated this 'limited-time promotion' which is available to both new and returning customers.
For four months, subscribers can enjoy Disney+ Standard with Ads for only £1.99 per month. Ordinarily, this would set you back £19.96, but it's currently available for a mere £7.96 – that's a whopping £12 discount.
But don't dawdle, as this offer won't be around forever. It's set to expire on June 30.
After the four-month promotional period, Disney+ Standard with Ads will automatically renew at the then-current monthly retail price unless cancelled.
This deal makes Disney+ the most affordable major streamer when compared to the cheapest subscription tiers of Netflix (£5.99), Amazon's Prime Video (£5.99) and Apple TV+ (£8.99). And it couldn't come at a better time, with a jam-packed summer slate of new and returning films and series on the horizon, reports the Mirror.
Leading the charge is the Disney blockbuster Snow White, which is already available for streaming. Also coming up this summer are Marvel's Ironheart (June 25), season four of The Bear (June 26) and the new prequel series Alien: Earth (August 13).
These exciting additions will join an ever-expanding library featuring recent hits and critically acclaimed series such as Andor, Welcome to Wrexham, Rivals, Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun.
The enticing £1.99 deal grants access to gripping titles such as Stolen Girl, Good American Family and the second season of the hit reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Disney+ ensures minimal disruption with less than four minutes of adverts per hour, a stark contrast to traditional terrestrial TV.

Trustpilot reviews from Disney+ users are glowing, with one stating: "Offering a fantastic and constantly updated collection."
Another user expresses their adoration for Disney+, particularly for Star Wars and Marvel fans, and notes the added value for adults with the introduction of Starz content.
However, they caveat their praise by pointing out: "Only reason it didn't get five stars is Disney are not using their other brands in the subscription.
"If they did this could easily be the best subscription service ever but there is much more content locked behind their own service."
Nevertheless, a glowing five-star appraisal states: "Good servers, good services, this nostalgia when watching old cartoons from TV. The subscription is really cheap compared to other streaming services."

Platonic: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's mischievous buddy comedy hits heights of TV brilliance
Sylvia and Will are old college friends, without benefits, who have reunited in their 40s. They're very close without being romantically interested in each other, and she has a habit of meddling in his relationships. Hmmm. We're accustomed to onscreen chemistry of the explosive kind, which is generally used to exploit a heteronormative set-up. We see a man and woman getting along, and can't help but wonder when they will burst into flames. Platonic (Apple TV+, from Wednesday), which stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne and returns for a second series, is flame-retardant. Will and the married Sylvia do not pine for or want to roll around on each other, but they do rely on, delight in, irritate and deeply understand each other. It's a worthy addition to what we might call the Ephroniverse – the slim canon of stories about whether straight women and men can be friends. As their titles suggest, Platonic comes to a different conclusion than When Harry Met Sally. It's the correct conclusion – so why is the question still interesting? Platonic digs into situations we're more used to seeing in WhatsApp group chats. Sylvia is horrified that Will's male friendships are more ribald than theirs is. Will realises he has incompatible personalities when he's with his fiancee and oldest friend, so tries to avoid socialising with them together. Can a man and woman stay friends if his fiancee does not like her? Where do his allegiances lie? While these dilemmas could arise within any friendship, the gendered aspect has a specific thorniness. Despite the title, this is no philosophical treatise. It's a comedy, occasionally a brilliant one. Rogen made his name in stoner-bro buddy-hang movies, but has elevated himself since. Watching him, I'm mostly wondering: which Muppet am I thinking of? Cookie Monster? Grover? Fozzie Bear? He's actually a comic straight man, albeit one in whom silliness gleams. Take his pronunciation of Veuve Clicquot, which in Rogen's mouth delightfully becomes 'Voove.' (He's trying to replace all the bubbly at his engagement party, after a friend of his misplaces an LSD-laced flute. 'You're saying this is a champagne problem?' smirks the shop assistant.) Byrne has proved equally funny, usually playing against her Audrey Hepburn looks. She's nimble, intelligent, good with detail, able to play big or bone dry as required. She's at her best when squashing discomfort. In the first episode of the new series, the engaged Will admits he has a crush on a young sandwich-maker. It's a typical Platonic scenario, pitting Sylvia's friendship obligations against her feminine solidarity. Byrne squirms as a reluctant wingwoman, yet manages to steer Will wisely, without preaching. 'The thing about that girl in there that you have to remember is … she has a Deadpool tattoo. It's terrible.' Platonic is a comforting watch – low-stakes but precisely observed and full of mischievous turns. The best of its cameos may be Saturday Night Live alumnus Beck Bennett as former party animal Wildcard, friend to both Sylvia and Will. (A laugh-out-loud scene in which he and Will discuss Sydney Sweeney has, against all odds, a kind of magical innocence.) Sylvia's Jeopardy-loving husband and their sardonic children make welcome returns, alongside her acerbic mom-friend Katie, played by Carla Gallo. The show's writing is equally weighted to its male and female stars, and it soars on their shared scenes, their bickering zephyrs. When all is said and done, it is a love story. TV has, in the past, contributed to a culturally threadbare understanding of that word. We should welcome this widening lens, a better aspect ratio to understand ourselves. If Platonic had solely been a Larry David-esque examination of friendship's minutiae, it would have been perfect. There is a higher stakes romantic storyline running through that feels more generic, and may struggle to sustain 10 episodes of interest. Friendship, though, is something we can watch indefinitely, along with peppery dialogue, relatable dilemmas and absurd scenarios. It's also a healthy reminder that chemistry doesn't only mean combustible. More often, it's about fizzing merrily along.

ITV star eyes up Blind Date presenter role as Disney+ reboot confirmed after six years
EXCLUSIVE: Blind Date is returning to television screens for the first time in six years and former TOWIE star Bobby Norris is set to host the rebooted matchmaking show Former The Only Way Is Essex star Bobby Norris has put himself forward to host the reboot of Blind Date. It has been confirmed that Disney+ is bringing back the iconic matchmaking show reimagined for a contemporary audience. The new series will begin in a secret location where contestants must choose between three potential suitors hidden from view behind the legendary Blind Date wall, the only thing standing between them and their potential true love just metres away. With a host of unique, innovative and head-turning format twists, daters will see if forever love can truly grow as they spend the summer living together but potential new partners are always lurking behind the wall. The 10-part series will start production later this year and reality TV regular Bobby, who appeared in TOWIE from 2012 until 2021, is up for fronting the show. Speaking in an exclusive chat during a shoot with WhichBingo, presenter Bobby said: "Bobby's Blind Date. " Paul O'Grady and Cilla Black were legends so they're big shoes to fill but I think we could do it." Blind Date originally ran with Cilla as host on Saturday nights from November 30 1985 to May 31 2003 on ITV. The show returned in 2017 on Channel 5 with Paul presenting the revived programme until it ended in 2019. Melanie Sykes became the new voice of the show, taking over the role most famously held by Graham Skidmore in the original series. The show had a format similar to the series known in Australia as Perfect Match or in the US as The Dating Game. Three singles of the same sex were introduced to the audience and were then asked a question by a single individual of the opposite sex, who could hear but not see them, to choose with whom to go on a date. The couple then picked an envelope naming their destination and the following episode showed the couple on their date, as well as interviews with them about the date and each other. Locations ranged from Bognor Regis or a date in an ice cream factory, to Anguilla or the Maldives.

Wednesday to Hunting the Yorkshire Ripper: the seven best shows to stream this week
It's a new term at Nevermore, and for the first time in her life, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) is dying to go back to school. After all, she's a minor celebrity now and dealing with autograph hunters ('I only ever sign my name in blood. I never said it was my own blood'). However, things are about to get much worse for Wednesday. Like every kid, she dreads the arrival of her family at school, but not only are her parents around more – her troublesome brother Pugsley and formidable grandmother Hester also soon become fixtures. Once again, it's stylish, smart and witty. However you feel about Tim Burton, it's hard to argue that his maximalist gothic style isn't absolutely perfect for this material. Netflix, from Wednesday 6 August The crimes of Peter Sutcliffe (and the flawed police investigation) have proved irresistible to documentary-makers, with the BBC and Netflix recently offering up versions of events. In truth, this latest series doesn't add much to our understanding of Sutcliffe's crimes, though it does broaden to examine the infamous 'Wearside Jack' tape that was sent to police by a man claiming to be the killer. Former DCS Chris Gregg – who assembled a team to catch the hoaxer – is interviewed about his career-long involvement with the case. Prime Video, from Sunday 3 August As represented in TV dramas, cold cases are often glamorous and mysterious. This documentary series shows the reality is sadder, if frequently no less intriguing. It focuses on the work of the DNA Doe Project, a US organisation that, in partnership with law enforcement agencies, uses detective work and genetic investigation to offer the relatives of some of the estimated 50,000 unidentified bodies lying in American morgues a measure of closure. It's a necessarily melancholy affair but also somewhat stirring in its depiction of tireless, valuable service. Disney+, from Wednesday 6 August A third series for this accomplished animation that follows the exploits of the Prouds, an upwardly mobile African American family who mix cartoonish hijinks with strong, slightly earnest moral messaging about identity and hot-button social justice issues. Trudy is worried about screentime and it isn't just her kids who can't put down their phones – her husband Oscar is hardly setting a good example. Cue a decision to live more consciously and to take a family holiday to London, Paris and Nairobi that becomes life-changing for everyone involved. Apple TV+, from Wednesday 6 August Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion The chemistry between Seth Rogen's Will and Rose Byrne's Sylvia continues to underwrite this profound comedy. The series doesn't just tell us that deep, platonic friendships between men and women are possible – it shows us. It's hard to avoid the feeling that Will and Sylvia have more fun together than with anyone else. And that's the whole point: shouldn't that be enough? As we return, Will is preparing to marry Jenna but admits to Sylvia that he has a crush on someone else. The fear that it might turn out to be Sylvia herself soon passes but, even so, is this another symptom of Will's inability to commit to adult life? Apple TV+, from Wednesday 6 August Most people would probably agree that the absence of a gameshow for cats and their owners is a glaring omission from the TV schedules. So thank goodness, finally, for House of Cats, a three-parter of snappy episodes which is hosted by comic Ivo Graham and social media personality, and qualified veterinary surgeon, Cat the Vet. Fittingly, there's no hint of a cash prize here; instead the winning partnership will take home a golden litter tray. Given that cats are notoriously much harder to organise than dogs, they will have certainly earned it. Channel 4, from Thursday 7 August From Walter Presents, this daft but moderately creepy mystery drama from France stars Fantine Harduin as the titular teenager. When Promethea is hit by a car, she eventually wakes from a coma with no recollection of anything but her unusual name. Gradually, her memory starts to return but that proves to be a mixed blessing as a series of disturbing revelations about an unsolved recent murder start to spill out. At first, it seems that Promethea might have witnessed this killing – but could her involvement have been even more hands-on? Channel 4, from Friday 8 August
