| | The princess unhinged Princess Bean is no Disney maiden: she drinks, she fights and she makes more trouble than she solves. And she’s back this Friday, in the second series of Matt Groening’s satirical fantasy sitcom Disenchantment. When we last saw our rebellious heroine (voiced by Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson) in 2018, her mother had just returned from the dead and turned the whole of Dreamland to stone. Expect gags, snags and shenanigans galore. Watch on Netflix

| | The commentators cultured In previous episodes of the podcast Still Processing, hosts Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham have wrestled with cancel culture, examined the joys (and pains) of Marie Kondo-ing and unpicked the case of Jussie Smollett. Now, the podcast’s unique brand of cultural criticism is back for a new season (the first episode, 2020, looks at the lead-up to next year’s US election). Even-handed and a joy to listen to.

| The place where we spotlight beautiful bottles that taste as good as they look. This week, Stylist Loves’ deputy editor Moya Crockett tries a love-at-first-sight gin |
|
| | Earlier this summer, I was in a pub in Clerkenwell when I noticed a bottle on the shelf behind the bartender. Made of pale green glass, it was topped off with a rose gold cap, and bore a navy-trimmed label adorned with an old-fashioned ship. I squinted at the brand name: Plymouth Gin.
Days later, I received an email informing me that Plymouth Gin was launching a new limited edition bottle - Mr King’s 1842 Recipe, based on a recipe discovered 177 years ago. Distilled from orris root and handpicked Italian juniper, it’s a clean, smooth, almost creamy spirit. And the new bottle (pictured) is achingly pretty. Buy as a gift or for yourself; you won’t regret it. £41.95, The Whisky Exchange
