Flaked is on Netflix from 11 March

It also feature's film's scariest ever goat.

More than just a straight-forward retrospection, the V&A's exhibition of the works of Florentine master Sandro Botticelli examines both his art (over 40 paintings on show) and the way the Renaissance man influenced both modern art and culture, including Andy Warhol and Dolce & Gabbana.

Yes it's all very highbrow, but an afternoon away from Netflix is a good thing ...sometimes.

Botticelli Reimagined is at the V&A from12 March - 3 July
