"Ted Lasso" is many things: a show about mental health, community and self-improvement, a comedy about culture shock, and a thrilling sports drama about the joys and heartbreaks of association football. When it comes to this last part, the Apple TV+ series is in kind of a weird place. You see, AFC Richmond is a fictional team, but it competes against real teams. For the most part, "Ted Lasso" stays in its own little bubble, in part because the show has its own analogs to real-life players — like Dani Rojas being heavily inspired by Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, or Jamie Tartt serving as a sort of Ronaldo stand-in, or Zlatan being a clear inspiration for Zava.
This isn't to say "Ted Lasso" is entirely disconnected from the real world. The show has plenty of references to real athletes, and there have been some stellar cameos from actual football players and pundits,...

Dan Walker has shared an update with his fans following his bike crash, saying that his helmet “saved his life”.
The TV presenter was hit by a car while cycling on Monday (20 February). He shared a picture of his bloodied face and told his followers that he was being treated by medical professionals.
Later that day, he confirmed that he was recovering at home.
Noting that he was “blown away” by the messages of support he’d received, the 5 News anchor shared an additional picture of his injured face with a thumbs-up.
“Just got home from hospital. Battered and bruised but – amazingly – nothing broken,” his caption reads.
“Very thankful to still be here. I have no memory of anything and just remember coming round on the tarmac with paramedics and police around me.”
He went on to namecheck some of the hospital staff that helped him in his time of need,...

The Masked Singer is back on our screens, turning the nation into at-home detectives as they try to figure out who this year’s celebrity contestants are.
The singing competition series, in which celebrities compete anonymously behind giant anthropomorphic costumes, returned on New Year’s Day, with the first group of contestants all performing.
Among the group was Phoenix, who was shown in their Vt standing within a grand castle and explaining in a posh accent that “I am rather hot, aren’t I?”
“Fire” by Kasabian then played as Phoenix said that they had risen from the ashes and been “born anew” and “reincarnated”.
They also said that they were good with “mysteries” and “following a trail”, while Phoenix was shown inspecting foot prints with a magnifying glass.
Phoenix’s first performance was a jazz version of “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk. While performing, they sang with an American accent.

The Masked Singer UK is back for a fourth season, welcoming a new cast of 12 incognito celebrities.
On Sunday (1 January), the top-secret singing series, which sees a number of celebrities dressed in oversized costumes to hide their identity, returned to ITV.
During the opening episode, Cat and Mouse, a duo act, were among the first batch of competitors to perform for the judges by Irving Berlin.
Who are Cat and Mouse?
The clues revealed in the first episode included the number 200,000,000 written on a notepad.
Cat said he was “no stranger to legalities” and liked to “get to the bottom of cases”, as well as knowing “how to spin a tale”. The Vt also showed five different jars of spices lined up.
So far, fans have speculated that the duo could be Spice Girl Emma Bunton and partner Jade Jones. Others have their suspicions that the furry duo are married couple Shirlie and Martin Kemp.

Viewers at home and a panel of judges, comprising Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, and Davina McCall, must then guess the contestants’ identities using cryptic clues.
At the end of each episode, one contestant is eliminated from the show and unmasked. During the first week, footballer Chris Kamara became the first contestant to be eliminated, who was dressed as Ghost.
Among the other personas featured on this year’s series are Phoenix, Knitting, Jellyfish, Rubbish, Jacket Potato, and Piece of Cake.
Who is Piece of Cake?
The figure was announced with the line: “Could this be history in the baking? It’s Piece of Cake!”
Viewers got their first look at Piece of Cake in Saturday 7 January’s episode, when she sang Ed Sheeran...

British audiences have been graced with a new season of The Masked Singer.
Debuting on New Year’s Day, the top-secret singing competition welcomed a new batch of 13 incognito celebrities to compete in its fourth season.
During the first episode of the competition – which sees celebrities dressed in head-to-toe costumes to conceal their identity while they perform – Knitting was the first to display her talents.
Performing her rendition of Becky Hill’s song “Remember” for the panel of judges, Knitting narrowly escaped elimination.
Among the first-round competitors were Ghost, Jellyfish, Jacket Potato, Phoenix, and duo Cat and Mouse.
Ultimately, Ghost was this season’s first elimination, later revealing his identity as former footballer Chris Kamara.

As has become customary in January, The Masked Singer is back on our screens to kick off the year in chaotic fashion.
Joel Dommett takes charge of proceedings once again as 13 celebrities dressed in creative disguises show off their vocals every weekend on ITV.
The audience at home and in the studio are not the only ones guessing their identities, however. Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross are the judging panel, determining who progresses to the next stages of the competition.
After the first episode, Ghost was unveiled as football star Chris Kamara, and became the season’s first eliminated contestant.

However, one of the most amusing identities in store for this season is Rubbish – a green refuse bin with bottles and cans emerging from the top.

Lewis Capaldi is hoping that he will stop getting compared to older women after a fan’s dad mistook him for Susan Boyle.
The 26-year old made a Tiktok video about the comparison, in which a fan said their father had apparently mistaken Capaldi for the fellow Scottish singer.
“Lewis my dad saw you on TV and thought you were Susan Boyle,” the fan’s comment said.
Boyle, who is 61, rose to fame after shocking judges with her powerful voice on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.
Capaldi responded in a video in which he can be seen sighing and shaking his head to his song “Pointless”.
Capaldi also added text over the video which reads: “Great start to the new year”

Ex-footballer and TV presenter Chris Kamara has joked that his MBE will be taken off him after he did a fake Scottish accent on The Masked Singer.
In the ITV show, celebrities perform under costumes with their identity hidden from the public and judges.
The 65-year-old was the first singer to be unmasked on the show after he sang The Drifters’ “Save The Last Dance For Me”.
During the performance, Kamara did a fake Scottish accent so he could fool judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Rita Ora.
It clearly worked, as the foursome had thought it might be the likes of comedian presenter Ian Stirling under the mask.
After his identity was revealed, Kamara tweeted at his own expense, joking that his accent was terrible.
“They have just asked me for the MBE back ð... after that singing in a Scottish accent ð.¤£ð... ð.¤£,” he tweeted.

The Masked Singer fans are adamant that they have discovered the real identity of the Cat and Mouse on the ITV series.
According to viewer theories, married couple and singers Martin and Shirlie Kemp are allegedly behind the masks of the Cat and Mouse.

Ghost was eventually unmasked as footballer Chris Kamara, leaving viewers thrilled and the panel shocked.
Now, viewers have their suspicions that Pepsi & Shirlie singer, Shirlie, and Spandau Ballet vocalist, Martin, are hiding under the Cat and Mouse costumes.
Viewers believe that the clues given in episode one were enough to give their identities away.

Ninja Warrior UK is returning to ITV after three years off air with an updated format in which ordinary contestants face off against “Ninjas” and there will be both a male and female winner.
The show’s sixth season from ITV Studios label Potato will enter production in May, seeking two champions for the format based on 25-year-old Japanese show Sasuke in which ordinary people are challenged on an almost impossible assault course that has only ever been fully conquered by one UK person.
Ben Shephard, Chris Kamara and Rochelle Humes will continue to host the eight-parter after a three-year hiatus, having helmed the show since 2015, and the new format will see the ordinary people go up against “Ninjas,” a team of professional warrior athletes. It will occupy a Saturday evening slot.

Globalisation isn’t just about lax child labour laws lowering the price of t-shirts; it also has its downsides. Global markets have a tendency to replace local idiosyncrasy with the accessibly bland. Should, for instance, the makers of Sweden’s chocolate Plopp Bar ever branch out into English-speaking territories, they’d be forced to rename their product to something much less funny, and we’d all be the worse off for it.
Murderville, a US series based on BBC Three’s Murder in Successville, is worse off for just that reason. In the transatlantic translation of the semi-improvised detective comedy, a niche element has been dropped, and with it, much of the original’s charm.

This article contains spoilers for Ted Lasso season 2 episode 2.
Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) are a special kind of TV couple. Like other character pairings on Bill Lawrence-produced shows before them, Roy and Keeley reject the “will they or won’t they” sitcom binary.
Instead these are two adults who share an intense emotional and physical connection and who are bound and determined to make an adult relationship work. The show has already borne the fruit of their efforts. After a touching conclusion to season 1, Roy and Keeley’s dynamic got even more acute in season 2’s first episode. The soft-spoken ex-footballer, emboldened by the relationship with his better half, passionately informs Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) that she should never, ever settle.

Game shows are one of the few formats that can withstand being rebooted. Some people might even argue that game show reboots are becoming necessary, given the calibre of new ideas being farted out onto the screen.

Jenny has a few tips for successfully rebooting some classic gameshows...
Game shows are one of the few formats that can withstand being rebooted. Some people might even argue that game show reboots are becoming necessary, given the calibre of new ideas being farted out onto the screen. For every Pointless, there's Dale's All Star Celebrity Family Kerplunk On Fire (actually I'd watch that).

Which new Saturday action gameshow deserves to wear Total Wipeout's crown? Den Of Geek investigates...
Saturday nights are all about falling over. Just look at your average British town centre and you’ll see people all over the ground, stranded where they fell. And Saturday night TV is no different.
But since the sad loss of Total Wipeout in 2012, the people of our televisions have been too upright. There just haven’t been the obstacle courses around to trip them up. That’s all changed though, with the BBC’s The Getaway Car taking on ITV’s Ninja Warrior UK in the family-friendly 7pm-ish timeslot.
But are either of them a worthy successor to the great of the genre?

Ninja Warrior UK is coming back for a second series.
ITV confirmed that the series will return in 2016, with Ben Shephard, Rochelle Humes and Chris Kamara all on board once again.
Ninja Warrior UK: Not the Japanese classic, but not half-bad either
Based on the Japanese format Sasuke, the first series saw 250 people taking part but none managed to conquer the show's final gruelling obstacle course.
18,000 viewers have already applied for next year.
"I'm delighted Ninja Warrior UK's coming back," said ITV commissioning editor for entertainment Asif Zubairy. "The show's mix of contestants' hilarious attempts and inspirational performances is presented brilliantly by Ben, Rochelle and Kammy."
Potato managing director Michael Kelpie added: "Ninja Warrior UK has proved to be a hit with viewers of all ages, a real family favourite on Saturday nights.
"I'm thrilled to be making the show again for ITV."...

Coleen Nolan's new dog urinated on the studio floor live on 'Loose Women' today (15.04.15). The 50-year-old TV presenter was left embarrassed when her three-legged, adopted mutt Mika got nervous in front of the cameras and took a wee. Coleen yelled: ''She's not house-trained yet!''

I'll admit to once having been something of a Ninja Warrior addict - back in my university days, I would while away many an hour (when I probably should have been writing coursework) watching the original Japanese series, Sasuke, on Challenge.
So I was rather excited when ITV announced plans to bring the format to the UK - just as G4 / NBC had launched American Ninja Warrior in the Us some years previous.
British television - and ITV in particular - is crying out for a new light-entertainment format that's not another song-and-dance contest - and that has at least a little more class than the late, un-lamented Splash!.
Ninja Warrior UK seemed like a strong bet - but now that it's finally reached our screens, it's clear that this is not really the same show as Sasuke.
Ninja Warrior UK is here: Can it possibly be as tough as Japan and Us?...

ITV1's new Saturday night show Ninja Warrior UK hit our screens for the first time tonight.
Based on a Japanese original and already adapted for an American audience, those versions have already been screened on various channels in the UK. ITV has now created its own version of the hit show with British contestants ranging from firefighters and pole fitness instructors to family care workers and wedding singers.
Ben Shephard, Rochelle Humes and Chris Kamara are fronting the show but what was the reaction to it? Digital Spy took a closer look at Twitter during the show to find out.
First impressions were similarities with other shows - which, let's be honest, is expected. An obstacle course show is an obstacle course show:
Itv's ninja warrior is the biggest rip-off of total wipeout, however they are forgiven for getting Chris kamara on my TV
