Rebecca then kicks Higgins and Beard out so she can speak to Ted alone, assert her dominance, and give him a tour of the club. Ted and Rebecca introduce themselves to each other and Rebecca makes a lame dad joke and Ted is sufficiently delighted.
Nate then takes Ted and Beard up to Rebecca’s office, but Nate gets scared of Rebecca and runs away. Ted treats him with basic human respect and it blows his mind a little bit. When Ted and Beard get to London, Ted makes friends with their taxi driver, Ollie ( Jimmy Akingbola), who takes them straight to the AFC Richmond training center (after a quick pit stop at London Bridge).Īt the training center, they first meet the always-anxious Nate Shelley ( Nick Mohammed). By contrast, Beard is relatively quiet and introverted, but not in a subdued way. Ted is very chirpy and outwardly happy and optimistic. We are then treated to one of Ted Lasso‘s most delightful drags when Rebecca fires the misogynistic head coach of the team, George ( Bill Fellows).Ĭut to Ted Lasso himself and his best friend-slash-assistant coach, Coach Beard ( Brendan Hunt) on a plane on the way to London. We learn that Rebecca has just acquired the football club AFC Richmond in an acrimonious divorce from a man called Rupert – the most English name ever – who cheated on her publicly and repeatedly. Ted Lasso‘s pilot episode, contrary to popular opinion, actually opens on AFC Richmond’s training ground before showing us the exquisite face of the love of my life, Rebecca Welton ( Hannah Waddingham). Except, in true “Luke, I am your father” false-memory fashion, that’s not the real opening scene. As I’m sure you’re aware, American football and regular football are, in fact, not the same sport. Shockingly, he’s taking a job as a Premier League football coach in England.
The show opens by telling us about a successful American college football coach called Ted Lasso ( Jason Sudeikis).
Episode 1: ‘Pilot’ Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso and Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso. Aren’t you so excited about it? I’m so excited about it. Yes, even if you rewatched the show obsessively during the long layover between Season 2 and now. We’ve all just been graced with the Season 3 premiere (now streaming on Apple TV+), but I still feel like we could probably use a couple of helpful refreshers. Yes, it’s true: We here at Screen Speck are doing a retroactive Ted Lasso Season 1 rewatch and recap.
