We just sort of turn up and we're like, "Oh, this is a good script, we'll just do that then." I'm only sort of joking. It's just all Jason and Joe and Brendan, they're the ones who bear the brunt of it. Did you feel pressure going into season two? And I think that by the sounds of it, it satiated the closeness and kindness that people needed. So, it was a show where every Friday night you could welcome the team into your home. But I think the show came out at a time where a lot of people needed guidance and they needed kindness, and they needed to see compassion in leadership, and that's what we see with Ted Lasso, right? It came out at a time when people couldn't have people inside their homes, they couldn't have friends and family with them. That's something that takes a little while to get your head around, for sure. It's very difficult to summarize, particularly as someone who's never been a part of something that's been spoken about by the queen, Brené Brown. What does it mean to you to hear that you've been part of something that's been a real bright spot for people in the pandemic? Here, Dunster breaks down Jamie's transformation from season one, opens up about pressures on set, and shares the story behind that "Baby Shark" theme song. This season, fans have watched as he tries to become a better person, only to realize that his strength on the soccer field lies in being a bit of a jerk. The character of Jamie has come a long way from that early casting call. It reminded me of Liam Gallagher-it just feels like it's a good little nod to that." And I loved reading Jamie and seeing the swagger that he had. Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there-and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend's family is from Manchester. A lot of the big clubs have amazing academy programs and those players come from around the city that the football clubs are in. "So I just went for something that I knew. But eventually the team called him back, looking for someone to play Jamie with a regional accent. It's not quite Spanish,'" Dunster remembers, laughing. "They were like, 'Cool, great, thanks for that. "They saw Cristo Fernandez and went, okay, we're going to make a character and we'll find a name for him." But before that decision was made, Dunster went into the audition for Jamie with a Spanish accent, per the casting call breakdown. "How Jamie Tartt came to be Jamie Tartt was that he was originally Dani Rojas-but not as we know him now because Cristo Fernandez is Dani Rojas," Dunster, who brings the football primadonna to life on screen, tells me over the phone. Put it to one side for a few minutes, so the caramel can cool down, then divide it up and serve with a spoonful of creme fraiche or ice cream.It's hard to imagine Ted Lasso's Jamie Tartt as anything but a swaggering Mancunian, but according to actor Phil Dunster, the character almost had a Spanish accent.
Jamie tart how to#
Put the board or plate on top of the pan, then quickly, carefully and confidently turn it out (remember you can go to and see a video of how to do this safely). So get a serving plate or board larger than your pan and put an oven glove on to protect the arm holding the board.

To make it look like a tarte Tatin you need to turn it out, which isn't hard - but you do need to be careful with that hot caramel. Bake the tarte Tatin for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden, with crispy caramelly pieces bubbling up from under the edges. Quickly and carefully tuck the pastry down right into the edges - it's best to use a wooden spoon so you don't touch the caramel. Add the cubed butter, then lay the pastry over the top. Carefully stir everything in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until the apples start to soften and you get a toffee apple vibe happening. Once the caramel looks and smells delicious - it should be a lovely chestnut brown - add your halved apples. Let the sugar dissolve and cook until the mixture forms a light caramel. Put the ovenproof pan on a medium heat and add the sugar, Calvados, vanilla seeds, and pod. Peel your apples, then halve them horizontally and use a teaspoon to get rid of the seeds and core. This will be enough to cover the ovenproof frying pan you'll be cooking the tarte Tatin in, leaving about 2 inches/5 cm extra around the edge. Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour and roll out your puff pastry until it's just over 1/4-inch/0.5cm thick. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C/gas 5.
