Everybody's Talking About Jamie, the movie adaptation of the musical about a teenager from Sheffield who wants to be a drag queen, is currently available to stream for free in the UK.
The film tells the story of a 16-year-old schoolboy who has to deal with intolerance from the school staff, bullies and even his own father, who want to dull his shine.
After airing on Channel 4 last night, it is now available on the broadcaster's streaming platform. As is typical with films on the service, you've only got 29 days to watch it before it is removed.

The film features a strong cast, including Sarah Lancashire, Sharon Horgan, Richard E Grant, Ralph Ineson, Samuel Bottomley, Shobna Gulati, Lauren Patel and lead actor Max Harwood, who won the Rising Star - Film award for this role at the 2021 Digital Spy Reader Awards.
Behind the scenes, Doctor Who writer Tom MacRae wrote the script, while The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells helped craft the music.
What to Read Next
With all that talent involved, it's no surprise the film did well with critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it's got a strong 81% positive score from 107 reviews.
RogerEbert.com called it "a heartwarming musical with the performances to really make it shine", while Time Out stated that Jamie might be "one of the sweetest gay films to come out of England since Beautiful Thing".
The Guardian called it "big-hearted" and "feelgood" with a "scene-stealer" of a performance from Grant, but felt it did adhere to the "Britfilm plucky outsiders template" a bit too closely.
