Phone 3 is big news from Nothing so wait for now and let the chips fall where they may
People, they care about Nothing. It is weird but true how a smartphone brand can elicit a response with their slightest move, even today, when clearly there are other pressing matters that perhaps need more attention. Everywhere you go, it feels like the world is at war, or at some crossroad substantial enough to change the course of human life as we know optimists will say, isn't it a good thing if something helps lessen the blow, so you can hit pause and feel some joy? Absolutely. Bring it on. It is tragic, but life can also be beautiful sometimes. Different people find happiness in different things. Some find it in discussing tech, the latest gadgets, smartphones, what have you. But some people also like to assume remarkable as humans are and can be, some of us are in the habit of expecting the worst from things and people without getting to know them first. When something or someone isn't up their alley of thought and expectations, you'll see them getting hassled for no rhyme or reason. It's a perception thing. Sometimes, people also like to follow the herd, aligning their thoughts and expectations with what would appear as a consensus in life or on social There is no right or wrong here, but to all those people, I say, go watch Ted Lasso on Apple TV Plus and if you can't for some reason, go watch this one specific scene where the protagonist – who is an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team – talks about being curious, not judgemental, while playing a game of darts in a setting where he seems quite out of place. You can find it on YouTube. Now, Ted – or rather, the makers of the show – did not coin the phrase, but I mean, that hardly matters in this bigger takeaway is that you should not be judgemental. But be curious. The world at large was curious as long as the Phone 3 was just an idea. There were hopes and expectations that it would look a certain way and have a particular type of hardware set because Nothing threw a curveball that it was making a true flagship, its first ever. It did not – and this is important – share any other details though. Brands do need to build hype and make people excited about their products. It is the same for as we approach D-Day – the Phone 3 will officially break cover on July 1 – it has started revealing more of the biggest updates are: there will be no glyph lights (but something else instead) and it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Based on this data, people hugely invested in these things, have started to paint a picture of what this upcoming phone could look like. That is okay. They are curious. If anything, it helps Nothing's cause. Not many brands can create this level of engagement what's perplexing is how some are judging it solely based on one spec – the chip – even before the Phone 3 has started shipping. They've not even seen it yet and already formed an opinion. One user on X called it a 'robbery', given the phone is confirmed to cost around 800 Euros. It won't be cheap, at least in Europe, but to liken it to being overpriced just because it has a certain chip is premature and a bit harsh. To be fair, Nothing never promised anything. Not Snapdragon 8 Elite, not Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – nothing. So, technically, it didn't break any rules. If you were expecting something different, it is your problem. Deal with it. Okay, maybe that was harsh, too. My apologies if I was out of here's the thing. The smartphone market is full of choices. Even at the higher end, there are a bunch of options. Not all are alike. And specifically, not all phones have the fastest chip in the world. The Pixel 9 series is one of the biggest outliers where, even though Google has used a chip which is based on older Samsung Exynos tech, it performs brilliantly in day-to-day. It, too, received a lot of flak at the beginning. Some criticise Google, even to Apple, the iPhone 16 has a chip which is technically not as fast as the pro variant it puts inside the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. If anything, these examples should make you feel pumped up about what Nothing could do with the Phone 3 given its fantastic track record with software. Not judge it, but be a little curious about how a small startup from London with a former OnePlus co-founder at the helm, is taking on the biggies. We all love a good underdog story and here's one that is ripe with possibilities. There's a 50-50 chance that it might fail, but do you ever wonder – what if it wins? Now that will be In

Popular Ted Lasso character admits they don't know if they'll be in new series
Ted Lasso was confirmed to be returning for a fourth season in March this year, but will Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor be reprising her role of Sassy alongside Jason Sudeikis? Actress and comedian Ellie Taylor has revealed whether or not she will be returning for the new series of Ted Lasso. The Strictly Come Dancing star appeared alongside Jason Sudeikis in all three seasons of the popular Apple TV series. Ted Lasso wrapped things up, seemingly for good, in May 2023, but it was announced in March that the Emmy award-winning series will be returning for a fourth series, with executive producer Jason set to reprise his titular role of the American AFC Richmond coach. Announcing the surprise series, Jason, 49, said: "As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap', in season four the folks at AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be." Among the other stars of Ted Lasso are comedian Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, Phil Dunster and Game Of Thrones star Hannah Waddingham. Ellie - who is working with Intrepid Travel to campaign for more female-fronted travel shows - played the supporting role of Flo 'Sassy' Collins, best friend of Hannah's character Rebecca Welton. Hannah has revealed she is reprising her role as the owner of AFC Richmond when the fourth series begins shooting in July, but will Sassy be by Rebecca's side once again? Ellie isn't sure. "Oh, I have no idea," Ellie admitted earlier this week when asked if she was returning to the hit Apple TV series. "I mean, I know as much as you do about Ted Lasso. I'm delighted that it's coming back and I'll be avidly watching for sure." "I can't imagine anyone who was involved with the original series would not want to go back," Ellie mused when quizzed on if she wants to play Sassy one more time. "It was a joy to be a part of. I feel really lucky to have been part of such a show that is so well regarded and mean so much to so many people." Ellie may not be filming (yet) but she's keeping busy with a mammoth task - trying to shake up the male, pale and stale world of travel TV. The comedian has teamed up with Intrepid Travel to back a campaign for more women fronting travel shows. According to Intrepid Travel, less than a quarter (23%) of travel programmes commissioned last year were hosted solely by female presenters, despite almost half of women wanting to have some representation on screen to highlight the unique issues female travellers can experience. "I've spent my career challenging outdated attitudes, and travel TV is long overdue for a shake-up. It's wild that last year in 2024 only 23% of travel shows were hosted by women, despite the fact that so many women are passionate about travel, exploration, and storytelling. Intrepid found 48% of people consider travel to be a male-dominated industry, but it shouldn't be!" Ellie said of her new gig. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with Intrepid Travel to shine a light on this issue – and to do it in a way that makes people laugh while still making a serious point. We're not just calling out the disparity, we're also starting a conversation about what needs to change, and hopefully, inspiring networks to rethink who they put in the spotlight." In a bid to inspire commissioners to cater to the real interests of audiences, Intrepid Travel has teamed up with TV producer Nicola Hebden (known for Travel Man and Jack Whitehall: Travels With My Father) to devise a proposal for an innovative new travel series - Travel Ann. The programme will follow Ellie as she encounters remarkable women across the globe who have committed their lives to effecting significant change in their local communities. These are women who are pushing boundaries and redefining leadership within the realms of travel and conservation. In one suggested episode, Ellie spends time with The Black Mambas – the world's first and only all-female, unarmed anti-poaching unit – who are safeguarding endangered wildlife and inspiring a new wave of female conservationists. Travel Ann is in the process of being pitched to major UK TV networks for a 6 episode run. Further information on the TV series can be found here.

From sitcoms to sagas - TV's top dads
From grumpy sofa kings to emotionally complex crime lords, TV dads come in all shapes and sweater vests. They've made us laugh, cry, cringe and occasionally pick up the phone to call our own da. In honour of Father's Day, here's our pick of the most iconic and unforgettable dads to ever grace the small screen. Gerry Quinn - Derry Girls Played by: Tommy Tiernan The most underappreciated man in Derry. Surrounded by teenage chaos and chatty aunties, Gerry is the ultimate long-suffering dad, deadpan, dry, and deeply devoted. Philip Banks - The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Played by: James Avery Firm, fair, and full of fatherly wisdom, Uncle Phil wasn't just a dad; he was the rock of the Banks family and a guiding force for Will. A true TV icon. Homer Simpson - The Simpsons Voiced by: Dan Castellaneta Lovable, lazy, and often wildly inappropriate, Homer is the cartoon dad we all know and, somehow, love. His heart is in the right place, even if he isn't the smartest. Mick Carter - EastEnders Played by Danny Dyer From the Queen Vic to family drama, Mick Carter brought depth to the role of the pub landlord father. His struggles with literacy, his protective nature over his children, and his complex relationship with his own past made him one of soap opera's most compelling father figures. Jim Royle - The Royle Family Played by: Ricky Tomlinson King of the armchair and the sarcastic sigh, Jim is the sofa-bound dad who gave us some of the best deadpan one-liners in TV history. "My arse!" Tony Soprano - The Sopranos Played by: James Gandolfini A mafia boss with a therapist and a soft spot for his kids, Tony was complex, dangerous, and weirdly relatable. Possibly the most compelling TV dad of all time. Dan Conner - Roseanne / The Conners Played by: John Goodman Salt-of-the-earth and flannel-clad, Dan was the heart of the Conner family. He tackled life's challenges with humour, love, and plenty of dad wisdom. Ted Lasso - Ted Lasso Played by: Jason Sudeikis Part coach, part cheerleader, part philosopher - Ted is the dad who'll talk feelings and football. His optimism is infectious, his biscuits are legendary. Red Forman - That '70s Show Played by: Kurtwood Smith Gruff and no-nonsense, Red ruled with an iron glare and one famous threat: a foot up someone's ass. Beneath the bluster? A surprisingly big heart. Ned Stark - Game of Thrones Played by: Sean Bean Honourable to a fault, Ned tried to do right by his family - and paid the price. His legacy looms large, even long after that scene. Walter White - Breaking Bad Played by: Bryan Cranston What starts as a desperate dad trying to provide becomes a dark, explosive journey. Walter White is parenting goals… if those goals are extremely illegal and morally murky. Martin Crane - Frasier Played by: John Mahoney Down-to-earth and delightfully unimpressed, Martin brought warmth and reality to his posh sons' opera-fuelled antics. Dog in lap, beer in hand, he kept it real. Michael Bluth - Arrested Development Played by: Jason Bateman Stuck with the world's most dysfunctional family, Michael somehow kept (most of) his sanity while raising his son and parenting his own parents. Johnny Rose - Schitt's Creek Played by: Eugene Levy Elegant, earnest, and emotionally steady, Johnny evolved from fish-out-of-water to father-of-the-year material. Suitcases full of class and compassion.
