The study revealed that London's inhabitants prefer to watch dramas such as 'The Crown' or 'House of Cards'.

Documentaries on the other hand, proved popular with the north-west, as viewers streamed the highly-anticipated Amanda Knox documentary and 'Making A Murderer'.

Yet surprisingly, reality shows also proved popular with the region as 'RuPaul’s Drag Race' and 'Hell’s Kitchen' were in high demand.

The south-east on the other hand, has a penchant for cult classic 'Gilmore Girls' and fellow nostalgia-inducing series, 'Gossip Girl'.
