Does anyone have any resources on Hamlet, Duchess of Malfi, Paradise Lost, Gatsby, Passing, American Literature context for A-Level English (OCR or any???)

For the Duchess of Malfi, there's an In Our Time podcast about Jacobean tragedy on BBC Sounds that might help you with context. There is probably one for Hamlet too (I should know, I study it!), but bits of the Jacobean podcast do address Hamlet. There's also a BBC documentary called The Mysterious Mr Webster — not sure if it's still on iPlayer as I accessed it through a link that my teacher put on ClickView.

I have a context booklet for passing that may be helpful
