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 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.

Used to be funny, but it's been infected by the virus of social justice/identity politics. Give it a miss.

I'd beg to differ with the majority of imdb reviews about this show. These guys are modern minstrels: they notice that the king has no clothes on and they make a funny song-and-dance about it. It's a centuries-old tradition! It is so unfortunate that Brexit has so polarised opinions since 2016, to the point that some reviewers on this site mistake the banter for propaganda. Let the opposition win the next election, and then we'll see who becomes the next biggest target. To be fair, the show has distributed ridicule fairly evenly. The Tory government got most of it because it was the most exposed as the party in power, it comes with the territory. I like the last leg because it comes at you from a different perspective, that of being disabled, but not disempowered. Over the past 10+ years, Hills (and his co-hosts) have contributed to transform our perception of minorities, and they deserve credit for that. And yes, with those achievements come the embarrassment that Adam feels he has a franchise to sing and dance. Fortunately, he does not seem to take himself too seriously. Loosen up, people, and enjoy the ride: we may as well have a little chuckle on our way to the gallows!

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.
