How Happy Gilmore 2 has been received by fans and critics
Happy Gilmore 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 cult comedy, was released last week on Netflix. The film received middling reviews from critics, scoring 65 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, but was better received by viewers with a 72 per cent score. Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, with Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Dennis Dugan also returning, alongside new cameos from Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, and Eminem. The plot sees Happy return to golf to fund his daughter's attendance at a Parisian ballet school. The film's opening scene, which kills off Julie Bowen's character Virginia Venit, has proven divisive among fans, though the director defended the decision as a key driving force for the plot.

Fans rejoice as Line of Duty ‘confirms return'
Adrian Dunbar, who portrays Ted Hastings in Line of Duty, has stated that the crime drama is poised to return next year. Dunbar revealed he was frustrated by the previous series finale, which revealed the identity of 'H' as Detective Superintendent Ian Buckells. Despite attracting a record 12.8 million viewers, the finale was widely criticised by audiences as disappointing. Creator Jed Mercurio is currently writing new scripts, and Dunbar hopes the BBC will soon make an official announcement regarding the show's return.
