I think we can all agree that documentaries and docu-series (whether dramatised or true-to-life) have the potential to be incredibly educational!

There have been some cracking ones out this year – from Our Father to The Tinder Swindler to Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me. What I wanna know is, what's something that a documentary or docuseries taught you in 2022?

Maybe you loved finding out that the biggest living thing on Earth is a plant! Thanks The Green Planet.

The plant in question is a sequoia tree, and the ones in California that Sir David visited are more than 250 feet above the forest floor!

Perhaps you were shocked to learn that one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims was just 14 years old when he died.

"The fact that I was dating an American actress was probably what clouded their judgment more than anything else at the beginning", said Harry in the doc. "'Oh, she's an American actress, this won’t last'", he added.
