For only £2.99, Lidl have released new Livarno Home Window Privacy Films. The new product is set to launch on August 14 and will be sure to fly off the shelves. The reason to buy Privacy can be required at home for a number of reasons, and for many it can be the only option. For many, curtains and blinds are too costly and an inefficient way of blocking out onlookers. What's more, not all windows are uniform in size, and so finding blinds to fit some windows can be an interior design nightmare. 4 Curtains and blinds can be an interior design nightmare Credit: Getty As a result, privacy film such as Lidl's, which can be cut to size, is a great solution, in particular because it is reusable. The easy to apply self-adhesive makes protecting your home has never been easier. The rolls come in four different varieties to fit any interior, and come in rolls of 67.5cm wide and 200cm long. As a result, for many windows, there would be no need to awkwardly try to align two rolls together or pattern match.' And unlike blinds and curtains, window film is also easy to clean – it can simply be wiped down with household cleaning products. Lidl Launches £7.99 Extension Lead to Rival Screwfix's £39.99 Gadget Film over curtains People tend to use privacy glass for multiple reasons, and there are many options on the market. Privacy glass films can be either reflective or frosted. Reflective glass helps to achieve privacy by providing an appearance on one side of the glass, whilst allowing vision from the other side, meaning those who use it can still look out without hindering their view - only the view of onlookers. 4 Films can be an easy way to reflect heat without blocking the view Credit: Getty The film works on the light balance, with the side of the film that is brightest exhibiting the reflective properties. During daylight hours, this is always the side of the film facing outwards, making it ideal for daytime privacy. Therefore, the film is an ideal alternative to blinds or curtains which, when drawn, block the view both ways, whilst also making rooms dark. These films are designed to allow good light transmission, ensuring that a good level of natural light is allowed to enter the room whilst also maintaining a view. 4 Lidl's cost-effective option is only £2.99 Credit: Getty For some people, ultimate privacy is wanted, and so two-way frosted film can be used. Once applied, this versatile film gives windows the appearance of acid etched or sandblasted glass, preventing vision from both sides of the pane whilst allowing high levels of light to pass through. It is a stylish solution to privacy, while still allowing light to enter the building and can be cut to the exact size specifications. Yet, privacy is not the only purpose for windows films. Some films have solar control benefits to help lower heat buildup in rooms by reflecting the heat out of a room. This means they can be the perfect solution to keeping rooms cooler in the summer months, such as bedrooms.

Kabul OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Shervin Alenabi and Jonathan Zaccaï's French-English series
Kabul OTT Release Date: If you're someone who followed the news back in August 2021 when the Taliban took over Kabul after the sudden withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, you'll probably remember the chaos, the fear, and the urgency of those days. Now imagine that drama, panic, and emotional intensity being recreated on screen through a human-focused political thriller. That's exactly what Kabul, the new French-produced, English-language series, is bringing to audiences. And the wait isn't long. Kabul will be streaming from June 20, 2025, exclusively on Lionsgate Play in India, in both English and Hindi. What is Kabul all about? Set against the haunting real-life backdrop of August 15, 2021, when the U.S. government officially pulled out its military presence from Afghanistan, Kabul dives straight into the mess that followed. It's a six-part mini-series that zooms in on the human stories trapped in political decisions, focusing especially on families, diplomats, soldiers, and ground-level agents trying to navigate the fast-collapsing situation. At the heart of the show is the Nazany family, an Afghan household suddenly targeted by the Taliban, trying to escape as the city goes out of control. But the family's plight is only one layer of this multi-threaded narrative. Alongside their story, Kabul reveals European operatives, including a French diplomat, an Italian attaché, and a German soldier, as well as others, scrambling to coordinate rescue and evacuation operations, often in direct conflict with local threats and global politics. Meet the cast and crew of Kabul The project is based on the personal experiences of Fabienne Servan-Schreiber, one of the show's producers, who was actively involved in helping evacuate Afghans during the U.S. withdrawal. Directed by Kasia Adamik and Olga Chajdas, Kabul is written by Olivier Demangel, Thomas Finkielkraut, and Joe Lavy. Fabienne Servan-Schreiber, Charlotte Ortiz, Matthias Weber and Thibault Gast have produced this under 24 25 Films and Cinétévé. Kabul was filmed starting in April 2024, with Greece (near Athens) standing in for war-ravaged Kabul, to safely and realistically bring the setting to life. The cast includes Shervin Alenabi, Jonathan Zaccaï (stars as a French diplomat trying to juggle political orders and moral responsibilities), Eric Dane (best known from Grey's Anatomy and The Last Ship), Thibault Evrard, Vassilis Kukalani, Jeanne Goursaud, Gianmarco Saurino and Valentina Cervi among others. It premiered earlier this year at the Series Mania Festival in Lille, where it received critical praise for its raw portrayal of a sensitive global moment. If geopolitical thrillers like Homeland, Fauda, or The Looming Tower caught your attention in the past, then Kabul is right up your alley, but with a European lens.
