Zany backgrounds are the pinnacle of Zoom comedy, closely followed by wearing hats that you wouldn't normally wear, and pretending you're in an elevator by tapping the air and slowly lowering yourself to the floor. But virtual mise-en-scénes have another, altogether more serious purpose, too.

They also give you the perfect opportunity to showcase your Exceedingly Good Taste In TV to colleagues. Because how else are they supposed to know that you've just finished The Wire? By telling them? Hardly appropriate during a work meeting. No, better to go the subtle, scenic route.

That's why we've gathered together some very high-res, very nice background images from some of the greatest TV shows ever made, from The Sopranos to Succession to Fleabag. Take your pick below.
