HANNAH WADDINGHAM HAD a long career on the stage before she broke out to mainstream fame in the Apple TV series Ted Lasso.

This week, Waddingham stars in the new Prime Video series Ride Or Die, where she plays an undercover international assassin. It’s quite the leap from her Ted Lasso character, Rebecca Welton, the owner of the team at the centre of this feelgood sports-comedy show.  

The fourth season of Ted Lasso will reach Apple TV on 5 August. So it’s as good a time as any to put your knowledge of Ted Lasso to the test in our Best of the Box Quiz.
