The Netflix documentaries recommended to Yorkshire actor Reece Dinsdale

Dinsdale, from Normanton, took to Twitter in the hope of finding a captivating "one-off" to keep him occupied during lockdown.

He said: "Give me a documentary, on either Netflix or Amazon Prime, that’s a must watch. Preferably a one-off rather than a series. Go."

Here are their recommendations:

Writer and actor Mark Gatiss, of Sherlock fame, recommended Netflix's Circus of Books - in which a couple take over an adult book store - which Dinsdale said was "next up".

Quadrophenia actor Phil Davis chipped in with Diego Maradona, the 2019 film about the irrepressible Argentine football player, which is available on Channel 4's All 4 platform.

Tiger King, the hit Netflix documentary series about Joe Exotic, of course got a mention, with Michelle Domville describing it as the "most bizarre thing you'll ever see".

Adventure doc The Dawn Wall, on Netlfix, was recommended. It shows free climber Tommy Caldwell trying to overcome heartbreak by climbing the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.

The Miami Showband Massacre was another of Netflix's offering, a film about an attack on the band itself 1975, which Dinsdale described as "scary and tragic".

Clare Costa said he should watch Abducted In Plain Sight and Amanda Knox, both on Netflix.

The service's Three Identical Strangers also received a mention - Dinsdale said it was "excellent" - as did Icarus.

Paris is Burning, the landmark 1990 film about drag queens living in New York City available on Netflix, is "utterly heartbreaking" said follower Sarah Bridgeman.

Other options recommended were LA 92, The Keepers, Dirty John and, cheekily, Take Us Home - the Leeds United documentary on Amazon Prime.

Dinsdale appeared in the 1984 fictional film Threads, about a nuclear attack on Sheffield, and among many roles over the years has since appeared in Life on Mars, Leeds Playhouse's production of Richard III and Yorkshire soap Emmerdale this year.
