Bend It Like Beckham: the film that ignited a love for football in so many women and girls

When this unassuming comedy came out in 2002, women's football wasn't even a professional sport in the UK or Australia. It's worth revisiting as the Women's World Cup approaches.

Where are the Bend It Like Beckham cast now?

They kick-started some impressive careers playing football-mad teens on Bend It Like Beckham, alongside a string of well-established stars.

But while some of the cast have scored some major work goals since, others have battled personal issues including a highly-publicised drink problem and mental health struggles.

It will be interesting to see how master baker Paul Hollywood copes perched on a sofa chatting without some dough to knock about and knead while he talks. He'll be doing just that in his new daytime series, which starts on Monday.

Joining him tonight is Steve Coogan who has had an impressive year, thanks to his diverse roles in The Look of Love, Alpha Papa and What Maisie Knew, but also because he won Best Screenplay for Philomena at the Venice Film Festival.

Adding bite to the evening is Dracula star Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
