I’m sure you have got a TV in your living room and possibly even a TV in your bedroom, but do you have a TV in your bathroom?
More and more people are taking the plunge and installing a new TV set in their bathroom, like this Waterproof TV from Bathroom Luxuries. There is a range of cool styles and options available; framed or frameless, white or black, you can even have a TV with ‘MirrorVision’. For the ultimate luxury they can also be installed outside around a pool or Jacuzzi area so you can catch up on your Fav show with a cocktail in one hand and the waterproof remote in another.
With the huge growth of online services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, not to mention the Britbox, the ITV and BBC steaming service (coming soon) it’s the perfect way to unwind and relax after a hard days work.
With the Oscars having just been and gone, I thought it might be fun to look at the best movies to watch while having a bath.

Be prepared, the film is quite long (3 hours 15min) and you may need to add extra hot water around the

The most recent movie in our list of movies to watch in the bath won four Oscars at the 2017 Academy Awards. The movie cost $20 million to make but took more than $195 million at the box office. The movie is a strange cross between the classic B movie, ‘The Creature from the Black Lagoon’ and
