Sky urges Brits to act fast as 'lowest price' TV, Netflix and broadband sale ends today
Sky shoppers are being urged to act fast to avoid missing out on its latest round of TV and broadband deals. The provider recently brought back a popular TV and broadband bundle that's seen prices return to their 'lowest ever', with the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle back to £35 per month and offering 300Mbps fibre broadband for the price of 150Mbps. However, Sky has now posted a warning on its website confirming the deal ends at 11.59pm today (June 18). Also coming to an end is the reduced Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle, which provides more than 35 extra channels for £39. Usually, Sky's Full Fibre 300 costs £29 per month without any TV access, but the latest deals also grant access to more than 100 channels including Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports News, and major free-to-air channels like BBC, ITV and Channel 4. The combined bundles also include free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions, with the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports for an additional £10 and £20 respectively. All of this is delivered via Sky Stream, the brand's new gadget that provides TV and streaming access through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish. Sky is now among the providers to roll out the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to complete the switch as Sky will do the legwork, reports the Mirror. To secure the lower prices, customers are required to agree to a 24-month plan. Sky states that the cost of its TV and broadband plans 'may change' during this term, which traditionally includes an annual price increase in April common among many firms. Sky earlier this year announced a hike of 6.2% in its TV and broadband service charges, making it probable that a similar rise could occur in April 2026. Nonetheless, Sky distinguishes itself by allowing users to end their contracts early if a price rise is announced. Sky's latest deals are competing directly with Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle, offering more than 200 channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99. While this is one penny less than Sky and roughly 60Mbps faster, it lacks access to Sky Atlantic or Netflix, which may be essential for some users. Competition also comes from BT and EE's Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which starts at £48.99 per month for the first six months before it jumps to the standard rate of £63.99, eventually costing more than £600 extra compared to Sky. In terms of user feedback, Sky customers have been sharing their positive experiences on Trustpilot. One five-star review says: " Sky Stream is a game changer. Switched a few weeks back and it's the best decision I've ever made. Installation takes care of itself, the remote even auto tunes itself to the TV. The best part is the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions." One less enthusiastic member says: "I wasn't happy with the service provided by Sky, phoned up to change my deal and was passed around like a parcel. Eventually, I got to speak to someone who knew what they were doing. I am happy my issue was finally resolved but took a lot of work." While another happy customer says: "I've been with lots of companies to get my TV and internet, but the best service I have received out of them all is Sky. We did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."

Gangs of London Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated June 14, 2025, 16:42 IST Gangs of London has captivated audiences with its gritty portrayal of London's criminal underworld, intense action sequences, and complex characters. After the explosive third season aired on Sky Atlantic and NOW on March 20, 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Gangs of London Season 4. Will the brutal turf wars continue? Here's everything we know so far about the potential release date, cast, plot, and more, crafted to keep you informed and engaged. Gangs of London Season 4 Release Date Speculation If Gangs of London Season 4 is greenlit, the release date will depend on production timelines. Previous seasons faced delays due to large-scale production and cinematic quality, with a two-and-a-half-year gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Assuming a similar schedule, production could begin in mid-2025 if renewed soon, potentially leading to a release in late 2026 or early 2027—possibly between October 2026 and March 2027. Gangs of London Season 4 Expected Cast The Gangs of London cast has seen major shake-ups, with Season 3 delivering shocking exits, including Sean Wallace (Joe Cole) and Ed Dumani (Lucian Msamati). If Season 4 happens, the returning cast will likely focus on surviving characters, with new faces potentially joining the fray. Based on Season 3's survivors and narrative potential, here's who we might see: Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as Elliot Carter : Now the central figure, Elliot's transformation from undercover cop to guilt-ridden kingpin will likely anchor Season 4. His internal conflict and leadership role make him indispensable. Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace : The fierce matriarch, who avenged Sean's death, remains a key player in the Wallace family's legacy. Brian Vernel as Billy Wallace : His uncertain fate at the end of Season 3—possibly dead but unconfirmed—leaves room for a dramatic return or closure. Narges Rashidi as Lale : Her alliance with Asif Afridi (Asif Raza Mir) positions her as a major threat in the underworld. Andrew Koji as Zeek Kimura : Introduced as Finn Wallace's illegitimate son and a skilled assassin, Zeek's role could expand as he vies for power. T'Nia Miller as Simone Thearle: The mayor's drug legalization plan will disrupt the gangs, making her a pivotal figure if she returns. Gangs of London Season 4 Potential Plot Season 3 ended with London's underworld in chaos, setting the stage for compelling storylines in a potential Season 4. The mayor's drug legalization trial, Elliot's moral turmoil, and Zeek's emergence as a wildcard provide fertile ground for drama. Here's a speculative outline based on Season 3's threads: Elliot's Redemption or Ruin : Elliot, now a broken man haunted by his descent into crime, may seek redemption by leveraging his past as a cop to navigate the legalized drug trade. Alternatively, he could fully embrace his dark side, clashing with enemies like Lale and Zeek. His guilt over betraying his wife's memory will drive his arc. Drug Legalization Fallout : Simone Thearle's plan to legalize drugs threatens the gangs' profits, forcing Elliot, Marian, and others to adapt or retaliate. This could spark new alliances, betrayals, or escalated turf wars as the criminal landscape shifts. Zeek's Power Grab : As Finn's secret son, Zeek may aim to claim the Wallace legacy, leading to conflicts with Marian and Elliot. His assassin skills and unpredictable nature make him a formidable threat. Billy's Fate: The ambiguous ending for Billy Wallace—potentially killed off-screen—could resolve with his survival or confirmation of his death, impacting Marian's motivations. Where to Watch Gangs of London Season 4 If renewed, Gangs of London Season 4 will premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, with AMC+ likely handling U.S. broadcasts, following the pattern of previous seasons.

Strictly's Claudia Winkleman says 'I almost left him' after husband made one request
Strictly's Claudia Winkleman says 'I almost left him' after husband made one request Claudia Winkleman, who presents Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors, has been married to husband Kris Thykier for over 25 years, but says one request put her out of her comfort zone Claudia joked she 'almost left' her husband after he had one request (Image:for Sky Atlantic ) Claudia Winkleman admits she 'nearly left' her husband Kris Thykier after he had one seemingly innocuous request. The Traitors star Claudia, 53, has been married to 53-year-old Kris for almost 25 years. The couple share children Jake, Matilda and Arthur together. But Claudia joked that she came close to walking out on Kris when he suggested they take an impromptu trip away together. Writing in the Telegraph, Claudia said: 'Yes. I almost left him. 'Last minute? Pardon? Hello? Has he met me? We've been together for 27 years and I've never, ever done anything on the hoof/spontaneous/on a whim.' The Strictly Come Dancing presenter joked that she knows what the family will have for dinner on the 'third Thursday in November' and likes to plan out their holidays in early January. Claudia insists she is the 'opposite of carefree' and the 'antithesis of wild'. Kris wanted to go on a 'last minute' trip away (Image:) Article continues below Although she decided this time to concede to her husband and decided to 'go along' with his plan. So, with just five days until they left, Claudia found herself booked onto a trip to Marrakech in Morocco. Claudia joked she 'didn't have the right sun cream' and had only done a 'three-minute search' for restaurants near where they were staying. Upon reaching their destination however, Claudia admits it was 'heaven'. She described the city's medina as an 'absolute assault on your senses' and encouraged fans to visit. Claudia was particularly wowed by the vegetables, sugar-cane and dried fruits on offer. After their whirlwind break away to north Africa, Claudia and Kris' marriage remains intact, and the star appears to have shifted her views on spontaneity. She added: 'At 53 I've had to change my outlook. Maybe (and this is not a promise) we won't have chilli con carne on November 20 after all.' Claudia and Kris married in 2000 (Image:) Claudia, who joined Tess Daly as Strictly host in 2014 after Sir Bruce Forsyth retired, is said to have met Kris through friends. The couple are private away from their public careers and like to keep their children out of the spotlight. In 2014 however, they suffered a terrible ordeal when Matilda, then eight, was seriously injured after her Halloween costume caught fire. Thankfully, she made a full recovery and the incident sparked government changes around the regulations of costume standards. Kris and Claudia tied the knot in a secret service at Marylebone Town Hall in 2000. Claudia later admitted that her dress was 'disgusting'. Speaking on The Wheel in 2021, she told a contestant on the gameshow: "I am going to buy you a wedding dress because I don't think that's the right answer. Mine was disgusting so I won't lend it to you, but that's what we're going to do." Article continues below The family reside in London, with Claudia previously paying tribute to the English capital. Speaking to the Evening Standard, she stated: "I can leave my house at 4am and buy a kebab, rent a movie and get some shampoo."
