Oh, we are so back. The third season of HBO’s Euphoria, the no-holds-barred (now not so) teen drama, has finally returned, a long five fictional years since the curtains closed on the second one. We last saw the cohort of high schoolers reeling in existential crises after the breakdown of Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) ill-fated, too-close-to-home play. It has no doubt taken this long for the cast and crew to catch their breath, recover and pull themselves together. Well, maybe.

“I regret that I didn’t get a cup,” the comedian Phil Wang says when asked about the costume he wore on <Taskmaster>. For continuity reasons, contestants are asked to wear one outfit – or several versions of the same outfit – throughout filming for the cult Channel 4 show. Given that many of the challenges, or “tasks”, they face are often physical in nature, the safest option is clothing that is unrestrictive. Wang chose a yellow jumpsuit in homage to the martial arts legend and fellow East Asian actor Bruce Lee, who wore something similar for <Game Of Death>. Wang’s jumpsuit certainly was unrestrictive.

As Archie, a professor of Russian history at the fictional Ludlow College who leaves his wife for one of his graduate students, Dunster plays a man who is, by his own admission, utterly convinced of his own brilliance.

The fashion cycles of the running shoe can be, perhaps aptly, hard to keep up with. One minute you’re on the front foot, wearing the sneaker that’s about to take off. The next, the whole world has moved on and you’re left sporting yesterday’s shoe. Honestly, it’s an effort just staying on the treadmill.
