Where to stream Jaws in the UK for the iconic film's 50th anniversary
Audiences in the UK can now stream Steven Spielberg's iconic Jaws in their own homes.
This summer marks 50 years since Jaws first terrorised cinema audiences, transforming the film industry and beach holidays forever.
Released in 1975, Steven Spielberg's breakout thriller is widely credited with inventing the modern summer blockbuster, proving that audiences were hungry for big, suspense-filled entertainment during the warmer months.
The legendary movie followed a star-studded cast led by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw, as a team on the hunt for a terrifying great white shark after it attacked beachgoers.
The film grossed more than $475million worldwide, and has gone down as one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
Now, half a century later, the appetite for Jaws hasn't waned.

Why is there no Glastonbury in 2026? There's a good reason
Glastonbury 2025 is almost over with hundreds of thousands of people flocking to Worthy Farm for a weekend of live music – but it won't be back in 2026. The Friday had barely got underway before Royals hitmaker Lorde stunned a rammed tent with a secret set, with headliners The 1975 kicking things off that evening. Normally, fans will already be casting an eye to next year and pondering dream lineups, but there will be no Glastonbury in June 2026. Last summer, Emily Eavis opened up on why we shouldn't be on the lookout for any announcements. The organiser revealed she is ready for Glastonbury to take an elective break for the first time in a while. Every once in a while, Glastonbury takes some time off – these are known as 'fallow years' – to allow the grass and farmland at Worthy Farm to get a break from the 200,000 people who visit the festival each year. She previously told the BBC: 'We are due a fallow year [at Glastonbury]. The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land. 'I think it's important, I think it gives everybody time to just switch off and the public as well. Then you kind of go away for a bit and it feels lovely when you come back. And I think it's quite good not to be seen to be cashing in.' Next year won't be the first time Glastonbury has taken some time off, with the festival cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of government lockdowns during the Covid pandemic. The first time the festival took a break was in 1988 when the decision was taken to allow the grass on the festival's home of Worthy Farm to grow again. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A second pause in proceedings came in 1991 when crowd trouble at Glastonbury in 1990 left organisers needing to update their safety and security measures. The first fallow year to fall within a long-term planned schedule was in 1996, with then-organiser Michael Eavis (Emily's dad) saying the festival would take a year off every five or six years. The next break came in 2001, then another arrived in 2006. The plan was to take a break in 2011 but festival organisers thought it best to break in 2012 instead during the year of the London Olympics. The last time Glastonbury took a planned break was in 2018, with the next two – 2020 and 2021 – forced on the organisers during the height of the pandemic. A statement in 2018 said: 'We will be taking our next fallow year in 2018, in order to give the farm, the village, and the festival team the traditional year off. There are no plans to hold an event at another location in 2018.' More Trending There were rumours in 2017 that Glastonbury might well be moved to a new location in the near future, with plans for a new name even teased by Emily Eavis, but those plans were put on hold in 2019. Last year, the festival was headlined by Dua Lipa, Coldplay (who have topped the bill a record five times) and SZA, with Shania Twain in the Sunday Legends slot.

Strictly star left 'scared and helpless' after London mugging
Strictly Come Dancing professional Michelle Tsiakkas has issued a public warning after a recent traumatic experience in central London. The 29-year-old dancer shared her ordeal on social media, urging fans to remain vigilant, as she described feeling 'scared and helpless' following the incident. 'Now this was a couple of days ago and I've just about mentally recovered from that. It was quite traumatising on the day,' she said on Instagram. 'It wasted my whole day and made me feel awful, scared, helpless and I don't want the same to happen to you. 'My phone got stolen. My phone got stolen. I mean I see it happening all the time but it's just one of those things that you just never think it's gonna happen to you. and then it does.'

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In her post, Michelle emphasised the increasing prevalence of phone thefts in the city and urged others to be cautious, especially when walking alone in quiet areas. Michelle was walking alone when a masked rider on an electric bike allegedly sped past her, swooped in, snatched her phone and then sped off before she could even register what had happened. In the moment Michelle panicked and fell to the ground – injuring her knee. The professional dancer described it as a 'heart sinking' feeling when she realised what had happened in the whirlwind. Thankfully, two passersby rushed over to help her up and offer reassurance, while Michelle said their kindness meant the world in that moment. She took to Instagram to alert fans, and said: 'Be very careful. Phone theft is happening more and crime in the city is getting worse.' Fans and friends were quick to comment on the post, with Strictly choregorapher, @tommythefranzen, commenting: 'Oh no I am so sorry this happened to you, hope you are okay.'

All Neighbours spoilers for next week as love triangle is ‘solved'
Neighbours is lining up a huge week for Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) as his love triangle seems to finally come to an end. At the time of writing, 67% of Metro readers have voted in our poll for him to settle down with Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire). But with Colton Keys (Jakob Ambrose) suddenly deciding he wants something more serious too, who will Aaron choose? Amid the romance, a horrific incident takes place and one Ramsay Street resident is brutally attacked. A legendary family has to come to terms with yet another tragedy, while Cara Varga-Murphy (Sara West) puts her police training into full swing to track down the culprit. Despite receiving a warning from Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) about her underhand behaviour, she presses ahead and nails the attacker. Elsewhere, newbie Saskia Ramsay (Mia Foran) continues to make quite the impression on her new neighbours, firstly offending teacher Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask), and then trying to jeopardise Sadie Rodwell's (Emerald Chan) career. Plus, there's fresh worries for Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) when husband Karl (Alan Fletcher) refuses to confront his issues, and remains firm on his decision to resign from Eirini Rising. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Will she be able to talk him round? For all the hottest goss from Melbourne's most-liveable suburb, I'm your man. Here's next week's Neighbours spoilers… Aaron tries to work out whether Nicolette's theory is true – have Rhett and Colton hooked up? When he confronts them, he's left embarrassed by their perfectly reasonable explanation. The pair are livid at his suggestion, and Aaron berates Nic for leading him to believe her dodgy intel. To make matters worse, the whole mess has actually drawn the two men closer together, and they've started hanging out without Aaron. Across the road, Susan has doubts about Karl's decision to resign from Eirini Rising. He's keen not to leave Terese in the lurch, and starts to search out for a potential successor – and pitches the idea to Remi. She's against the idea, but Susan comes up with another proposal. She hopes that if Remi shows a small amount of interest in the position, it'll buy more time for Karl to change his mind. Remi is uneasy about betraying Karl, but agrees to give it a go. The plan is set in motion and he's delighted. Is this a dangerous game? Down at the retirement complex, Terese is in two minds about leaving everything behind to enjoy a holiday in Rome. Everything Darcy did still looms large, but Colton assures her that he'll make everything okay by easing the residents' nerves with a fun activity. NAKED. YOGA. To Terese's surprise, the event is a huge hit with Gino and Vera, who give rave reviews. And to make things even better, it's given her the boost she needed to head off to Europe. I wonder whether she'll manage to fit in a nationwide tour of the UK while she's there? A horrific incident hits the neighbours when Byron is assaulted, and Jane has to confront yet another family tragedy. Cara keeps an eye on the investigation, until Jane and Nic discover some cruel billboard vandalism that is clearly aimed at his old escorting career. Taye is summed to the advertisement, and Cara can see the full picture. Did the attacker have the right sex worker? Elsewhere, Holly is inspired by Andrew's reunion with his biological family to reach out to mum Izzy. Unsurprisingly, she's knocked back, and Max's own history with her mother leaves her needing more. Andrew comes to the rescue, and offers some non-judgemental advice. Things aren't going too well for his wife Wendy, though. Just one week into her new teaching job at Erinsborough High, a Maths class goes disasterously. Saskia is clearly heckling her in the hope of gaining approval from her peers – something which Wendy doesn't pick up on. She does, however, see that her behaviour is changing. She reaches out and offers the newbie a pair of handmade earrings, encouraging her to be herself and everything will fall into place. Will she heed her teacher's advice? Cara is convinced that there's only one person in the frame for Byron's attack – Lydia. Andrew is unconvinced, but agrees to question her. When she denies all involvement, Andrew has to warn Cara that they can't pursue her any further without concrete evidence. But she isn't about to stop just there… Noticing Lydia in a heated conversation with her son Jesse, Cara can see that his knuckles are bruised and cut. It's obvious to her that he was the one who assaulted Byron. She gives Lydia one last chance to fess up to what has happened, as it's the only way of helping her troubled son. Jesse comes forward, and with truth now finally out in the open, Lydia is charged. While that's a relief for Byron, he can't shake off the awkward advances from Saskia, who grows increasingly jealous by the attention he's giving Sadie. He's still hopeful of a romantic reunion, but she friendzones him. Saskia overhears her relaying the incident to Max and Holly, and interjects with a damning remark, leading Max to tell his little sister to stay out of matters that don't concern her. Unsatisfied, she goes to the Lassiters Day Spa and tampers with Sadie's facial products, which give Nicolette a nasty burn to the skin. Elsewhere, Holly is enthusiastic at Andrew being invited to a party with his birth family, but Wendy is disappointed as it's likely she won't be able to attend with him because of work. Later, at school, Wendy scorns Saskia for being late to class, embarrassing her in front of the other pupils. In response, she bins the earrings that were gifted to her. Wendy confronts the teen over them, but is palmed off with an excuse about being bullied by other students and having them stolen. Back at home, Andrew is disappointed when Wendy reveals she can't get the time off to join him in Sandy Point. Aaron is pleased that things are starting to thaw out with Colton and Rhett, but is taken by surprise when Colton makes it clear that he now wants something serious. Unsure what to do, Aaron takes some time out to spend the afternoon with Isla – and soon runs into Rhett and his daughter Tilly. It's clear that there could be something special between the men. Later, Rhett deals an ultimatum. It's time to choose where his heart lies. Elsewhere, Nic reels in agony after her mishap at the Day Spa and Sadie has absolutely no idea how it's happened. She's deeply apologetic. Byron returns from hospital and Saskia goes to great lengths to make it clear to him that she's no longer interested, even setting up a date with Dex.
