Phil Dunster, aka Jamie Tartt in the series, tells Newsbeat about the range of issues the show addresses.

Jamie Tartt gets one of his many subtle pep talks from Jason Sudeikis in season two of Ted LassoWhen Ted Lasso hit our screens at the end of 2020 it was seen as a much needed bit of light relief in the middle of a global pandemic.

Fast forward almost three years and the feel-good Apple TV+ hit has become a cult favourite and won 11 Primetime Emmy awards in the US. The show's been widely praised for dealing with topics not always seen in comedies - like mental health, racism and homophobia.- with episodes creeping up from 30 minutes to over an hour and being too dedicated to solving these issues."Also it can just be boring if you've got somebody going they are sad about this thing, they talk about that to another character, the character gives them advice and then they get better," he says.
