SWAP YOUR STREAMS TO SAVE!
Here's some bill-slashing advice from The Sun's tech editor
If you're like me, you'll be paying out more than you'd like on subscriptions each month.
It's easy to lose track of where all the money goes, and the fear of missing out makes it hard to bin Netflix.
But if you're paying for several streaming services, you're making a big mistake.
Instead, try something called stream swapping.
Cancel all of your TV subscriptions except for Netflix, then burn through all of the telly you want to watch on the app.
Then cancel that and sign up for another service, like Disney+.
Watch all of the good stuff there and then move on, perhaps to Amazon Video.
Do this with three or four apps and then cycle back to Netflix at the start.
This way, you get to watch all of the top content on each app but you're not paying for them all at the same time.
And you might even get to take advantage of some attractive sign-up offers too.
It could save you hundreds each year if you stick to it.
Pop is aimed at children aged 5-8 while Tiny Pop is aimed at kids aged 4-6.
Pop shows a number of
The kids channels, as well as being available on TV, can also be viewed on various streaming services.
YouTube, the Pop Player app and FAST platforms such as Samsung TV Plus can access the channels.

Quentin Tarantino on one of cinema's big questions: what is the best Tarantino movie?
It's one of cinema's most contested subjects: which Quentin Tarantino movie is the best? The director himself has finally weighed in — while also sharing his personal favourite and which of his films he was 'born to make'. Speaking on The Church of Tarantino podcast, the 62-year-old film-maker said his 2009 second world war drama Inglourious Basterds was the best of his nine films, while his 2019 movie Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood was his favourite. 'But I think Kill Bill is the ultimate Quentin movie, like nobody else could've made it,' he added, of his two-part martial arts thriller. 'Every aspect about it is so particularly ripped, like with tentacles and bloody tissue, from my imagination and my id and my loves and my passion and my obsession. 'So I think Kill Bill is the movie I was born to make, I think Inglourious Basterds is my masterpiece but Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood is my favourite.' Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds Tarantino is famed for writing all the feature films he's directed since his 1992 debut Reservoir Dogs. When the conversation turned to screenplays, Tarantino said: 'I think Inglourious Basterds is my best script, and I think Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood are right behind. 'But, there's an aspect of Hateful Eight that I actually think is probably my best directing of my material, ie, the material is written and it's solid,' he added. 'So it's not like I have to create it, like Kill Bill — it's solid, it's right there and I actually think it's my best servicing [of] my material as a director.' Tarantino has chosen not to direct his sequel to Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, which follows the fading actor Rick, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and his stuntman, Cliff, played by Brad Pitt, in 1969 Los Angeles. Instead he handed the reins to David Fincher, who will direct The Adventures of Cliff Booth for Netflix. Tarantino remains the writer and producer. 'I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors,' Tarantino said. 'So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.' Reservoir Dogs Tarantino revealed he is working on a play which will open in the West End of London in 2026 before returning to work on his final film. He remains committed to retiring after his 10th film, having previously said: 'Most directors have horrible last movies.' On the podcast he said he had passed on directing The Adventures of Cliff Booth because he felt 'unenthused' about his final film being a sequel. He has only directed one sequel — Kill Bill: Volume 2 — though he considers both parts of Kill Bill to be a single film. 'I love this script but I'm still walking down the same ground I've already walked,' Tarantino said of The Adventures of Cliff Booth. 'It just kind of unenthused me. This last movie, I've got to not know what I'm doing again. I've got to be in uncharted territory.' Tarantino's final film was long rumoured to be The Movie Critic, which was to star Pitt and follow a cynical film critic working in California in 1977. But in 2024 Tarantino abandoned his plans for the film, confirming on The Church of Tarantino podcast that he had scrapped The Movie Critic because he believed it was too similar to his past work. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 'I wasn't really excited about dramatising what I wrote when I was in pre-production, partly because I'm using the skill set that I learned from Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood — 'How are we going to turn Los Angeles into the Hollywood of 1969 without using CGI?'' he said. 'It was something we had to pull off. We had to achieve it. It wasn't for sure that we could do it … The Movie Critic, there was nothing to figure out. I already kind of knew, more or less, how to turn LA into an older time. It was too much like the last one.' — The Guardian

Love Is Blind UK star who was CUT from show revealed despite getting engaged in pods
A LOVE Is Blind UK star has revealed that they got engaged in the pods – though their connection wasn't seen on screen. The Netflix dating experiment returned last week with 15 new men and 15 new women entering the "pods" in a bid to find love with someone without ever seeing them. 5 Ross appeared on Love Is Blind UK but was barely seen on screen Credit: Instagram 5 It's not known who Ross's mystery fiancee is Credit: Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025 Participants only get to meet their match once they get engaged – and from there it's a six week whirlwind to the finish line including romantic getaways, living together, and meeting loved ones. However, with so many connections there to be formed, not everyone gets to make it past the initial stages, even if they put a ring on it. Typically on a Love Is Blind season, up to five couples are followed past the initial stages. And one star – Ross Millington – has revealed he was one of the unlucky people who were halted from continuing the process. As TikTok blew up with analysing the first episode, one fan spoke about Ross's brief appearance on the show. While he was rarely seen in the pods, he was shown chatting with the lads in the men's lounge as he went through the process – speaking to Kai (who did make it through to the next stage) and Demola (who was snubbed by potential match Katisha in favour of Javen in the process). Ross, a 30-year-old barber shop owner at the time of the series being filmed, jumped in on one fans TikTok asking more about him. "That was me," he noted as she pointed him out. "I didn't make it to Greece unfortunately. Reveal went well though." Ross didn't elaborate further, but as he went through a "reveal" it is safe to assume he at least got engaged. A grab of the comment was later posted to Reddit, with fans dissecting who the lucky woman could be. Love Is Blind UK star storms off show and says 'get this mic off me' after branding co-star 'disrespectful' in fiery rant "Good thing he didnt make it to Greece, as they went to Cyprus," joked one. "I counted 2 guys and 2 gals during the "I'm engaged" scenes that had zero screen time," said another. "They are still around during those moments and I would assume they may have ended up as a couple but were not picked to go to Cyprus. "Makes you wonder if their connection was boring/lack of drama to not be picked over Javen and Katisha...." "I've never understood why they pick some and not the others and then don't edit it down more in post production if necessary," said a third. Love Is Blind UK continues Wednesday on Netflix. 5 Ross was largely seen in the boys' quarters speaking to the other suitors Credit: Cr.
