The Last Leg

Josh widdicombe, Adam hills and Alex Brooker and 2 other guests create a funny atmosphere on a Friday night. It's full of witty jokes and humour and fun guests. It started off with a show on the paralympics but now it is a humorous Friday night show with hilarious moments making fun of the weeks news and taking feedback live from Twitter!

The Last Leg is a satirical take on the recent press, mainly political stuff, hosted by comedians Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe. Initially the show was created as a satirical but true-to-form lookback at the Paralympics which the show still does every two years but as I stated above, it's mostly about political jokes and pop-culture references.

I've never been a fan of this show because I enjoy watching shows that are meant to entertain, not lecture me on being left or right-wing. Of course, as it's an "adult comedy show" there's plenty of sex jokes, shock humour and swearing galore; the three keys to British comedy panel shows.

The hosts... they can be likeable if they want to; but most of the times they're more annoying than anything. Josh is the only one of the trio who doesn't have a disability and he's normally the butt-monkey for whatever reason. Alex is alright, but Adam usually gets on my nerves after a while because he is utterly annoying.

There are plenty of guests as well, some who you wouldn't really expect to see on post-watershed programming as well. There's a good variety to be had there.

Can the show be a bit one-sided? Yeah. Is it not meant for everyone? Of course? Is it for me? Nah. I don't hate this programme as much as I did a couple of years ago but there's still nothing major to write home about.

I like when they think they're really funny but often they're not

The show used to be good and funny but it has become painful to watch. It wouldn't be half as bad if they acknowledged the obvious bias but instead they kind of pretend to be impartial satire while excusing or ignoring any negative side of Corbyn, the labour party or the remain campaign, applauding any positive even if flawed or down right wrong and insulting anyone who doesn't 100% agree. The lack of balance is off putting.

In a world where Trump is president of USA, Brexit dominates the headlines, our newspapers in the hands of the wealthy few and our floundering government has no worthy opposition it would be great to hear some thing different. The Last Leg at least offers that. Democracy should allow different voices -even if you don't like what is being said. Oh, and it it isn't our licence fee being wasted. It's not on the BBC.
