Netflix fans demand 'trigger warning' for new romcom after dark twist
The trending film has caught some viewers off-guard *Warning: Contains major spoilers for My Oxford Year* A new romantic comedy on Netflix has left viewers calling for a trigger warning over a dark twist in the storyline. My Oxford Year released on the platform on August 1 and it has already shot to the top of the streamer's most-watched films list. The film follows American student Anna (Sofia Carson) who takes on a year-long poetry course at Oxford University. While she comes to the prestigious institution with a fixed plan, it is quickly derailed by teaching assistant Jamie (Corey Mylchreest) who changes the course of her life forever. Despite being billed as a tear-jerker on Netflix, as well as bearing a warning for an "illness theme", some viewers have been caught off-guard by how the story unravels. It emerges during the film that Jamie, who has tried to avoid becoming seriously committed to Anna, is behaving that way because he has terminal cancer. He has also refused to carry on with treatment despite the objections of his family. Eventually the pair realise they can't hide from their undeniable connection and they carry on their relationship. In a heart-wrenching finale, after being struck with a severe case of pneumonia, Anna sits with Jamie and they talk about the future during his final moments. A montage plays out that shows the pair travelling the world together, but it is then revealed that this is just Anna's fantasy and she is experiencing Amsterdam, Greece, Paris and Venice entirely alone. Meanwhile Jamie has passed away beside her in the bed. The devastating scene has prompted complaints from viewers who had no idea about the cancer element of the story. "This was so sad. If I had known I wouldn't have watched it," shared one upset viewer, as a second said: "Just finished watching this and didn't quite realise what the plot was. Enjoyable film - but have tissues at the ready!" An emotional post from a third viewer read: "Netflix, this is a lovely film but I was a bit ambushed by it. I've got cancer and was looking for a nice bit of escapism only to find the complete opposite with this film. This happened only the other week with another of your films with similar content. "I appreciate why it wasn't in the synopsis for the film but do you think you could look into trigger filters." My Oxford Year was based on a novel of the same name by Julia Whelan, with the film written by Allison Burnett (Autumn in New York) and Melissa Osborne. Meanwhile The Inbetweeners writer Iain Morris was on board as director. Leading lady Carson, who also executive produced the film, explained why Morris' comedic brain was so important for the story. She told Netflix's Tudum: "Iain Morris created one of the most iconic pieces of British television, The Inbetweeners. "You simply cannot have a British romance without iconic British humor. Iain's vision of this film brought to life a sweeping, heartbreaking romance that is simultaneously grounded in laughter. In one scene, you can fall in love, have your heart broken, cry, and laugh — all in the same breath."

Daniel Ricciardo confirms F1 plans after being spotted unexpectedly in airport
Daniel Ricciardo has been largely off the grid since his Formula 1 career came to an end in 2024, but the Australian was recently interviewed by a fan at an airport Daniel Ricciardo appears to have confirmed his retirement from Formula 1 during an impromptu airport interview with a fan. The former star of the sport and darling of Netflix show Drive to Survive has kept a low profile since leaving the racing world last year. Ricciardo's move from Renault to McLaren in 2021, replacing Carlos Sainz who had decided to leave for Ferrari, was seen by many as a strategic step towards a rising team. However, in retrospect, this gamble marked the beginning of the end for the eight-time Grand Prix winner. He was consistently outperformed by his team-mate Lando Norris in the subsequent years. After two disappointing years at Woking, McLaren decided to make a change and dropped Ricciardo a year before the end of his contract, opting instead for rookie Oscar Piastri who is now vying for the drivers' championship title. The 36-year-old made a brief comeback with the junior Red Bull team, now competing as Racing Bulls, but failed to find the form he needed to challenge for a seat at the main outfit. He left in the second half of the 2024 season, replaced by Liam Lawson. Since then, he has been enjoying life away from the media glare, although he was recently spotted and interviewed by a fan at an airport. Reflecting on his career, Ricciardo shared that it took him a while to realise he was living his dream. "It took me a long time to realise I was actually doing it because, yeah, it's a dream and you think about it as a kid. And when you're there and you make it, you're like, 'Wow'. It happens very quick, but I mean obviously, I'm very appreciative for the career that I had and very grateful to do what I loved for some time." When asked if he could find something to replace the adrenaline rush of racing, Ricciardo admitted: "No... so that's what I'll... second half of my life I'll try and find that another way, I guess." These comments seem to squash any remaining speculation that Ricciardo might return to F1 in the future. Rumours linking him with the new Cadillac F1 team have persisted, but it is understood there have been no talks between the American outfit and Ricciardo's team. Last month, team principal Graeme Lowdon explained why Ricciardo is not the type of recruit they are looking for when it comes to drivers. "Actually, I think he has publicly said that he is not interested in Formula 1," he said. "If I need to convince someone, then it is the wrong person. You never need to convince a Formula 1 driver to jump in the car. I have got no problem – everyone can make their own mind up."
