While Ted Lasso can only showcase so many games, the characters and their relationships lose meaningful time within every flash forward. “We’ll Never Have Paris” kicks off with another significant time jump that spans at least four winning matches for AFC Richmond. While that could be a tool to encourage a more patient viewing experience, it clashes with the irony that Ted Lasso struggles to extend that same patience. The confirmation, one way or the other, likely won’t become evident until Season 3 concludes later this month.Ĭonsequently, the lack of clarity regarding the show’s future increases concerns about the show’s pacing. Instead, the narrative turns in this episode land as though Ted Lasso is gradually approaching something other than a series finale with four episodes left. Despite the other-worldly beings, the writing style and descriptions throughout made it appear almost believable.Ted Lasso 3×08, “We’ll Never Have Paris,” instills hope that perhaps this show won’t hear its final whistle - at least not anytime soon.

The story is one of the most inventive which I’ve come across in a long while, and I loved the way in which Hughes crafted his tale. All of my apprehension about it dissipated on the first page however, and I found The Iron Man to be an incredibly enjoyable little novel. This sounds very sci-fi, I know, and my wariness of choosing this as my first Hughes book to read was based purely upon the fact that I don’t overly enjoy science fiction as a genre. A friendship with a young boy named Hogarth ensues, and to prove his worth to the sceptical adults, the Iron Man is tasked with saving the earth from an evil space creature. What they don’t factor into the equation is that the Iron Man is able to escape. He is found by a group of local villagers whilst snacking on their farm equipment, and they decide that the best thing to do in such circumstances is to build an enormous pit and lure the Iron Man inside. The Iron Man tells the story of a ‘man’ made entirely of metal, thought at first to be an enemy of the people.

I therefore thought that rather than miss out on contributing entirely, I would schedule a review for one of my favourite books, Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man, which just so happens to have been published in 1968. I was hoping to be able to read and review something new for the wonderful 1968 reading club, hosted by Simon and Kaggsy, but my best intentions have been swallowed up in thesis writing.
