The last leg

Bloody loved this show during the Paralympics, breaking taboo's, spreading a better understanding of disability and a really funny show hosted by three funny blokes who really bounce off each other.
Great to see it back on 4 and it isn't dissapointing. The format still works without the Paralympics as a back drop,
funny stuff

Agree with all of that. Adam Hills is superb generally, the format is spot on, and I like the way it stereotypes the stereotypers.

Apart from having Jimmy Carr as a guest (TWICE!) when he was desperately trying to get some good PR after his tax avoidance/Downs jokes/amputee jokes/all his other shit and offensive jokes, I really enjoyed it during the Paralympics.

Highlight for me was when they discussed a tweet asking "is it OK to fancy Paralympians" and said yes of course it is, then read out some guy's tweet that said "looking forward to 10 days of the strangest wanks I'll ever have", before pissing themselves laughing.

If you ever go to see Adam Hills live, make sure it's one of the shows with a sign language interpreter - gives it a whole extra level of comedy. If you saw his signed live show on Channel 4 over Christmas you'll know that already.

Saw that Adam Hills stand up on channel 4 and loved it. Wasn't the funniest stand up I've ever watched but the way he engaged the audience and the sheer joy and warmth of it all was fantastic. And the little exchanges with the interpreter, like you say, were great.
And as for the gay deaf strippers? genius :)

I personally have only seen the adds to he show and sorry old buddy but on this issue i disagree i think laughing at others expense is taking the "p" out of them all the same,shows what a society we have become...

yes i find it funny,but really to make me laugh in this way is when my brain is "dead"... and normally when i am tired..

Apologies for getting all serious there.

No worries my friend, agree to disagree and all that. I kind of agree with your point about laughing at other people's expense, like little Britain and Ricky Gervaise. They were kind of hiding under the guise of "aren't we being all modern and breaking taboo's about laughing at disability and race" when all they were getting were cheap laughs at other people's expense. Where as the last leg has 2 hosts with disabilities and is contributed by disabled people and often has serious debate about what is acceptable and what isn't concerning disability. The last leg is funny and kind hearted, and that's the end of it :)

Like i say i have only seen the ads,perhaps having 2 disabled hosts softens things,maybe i should watch it-

This is great cutting edge stuff. It's not insulting, it's inclusive. About time we broke some taboos..
These guys were a revelation during the Paralympics!

I agree,i can talk about any subject and it's good to talk,no good being all softly softly,but when it becomes the norm it dilutes many things standards slip and a little more respect and goodwill to each of us is lost-

I mean i could say do you want to sleep with my mum tonight? you could say is she fit? i could reply not bad for a oldie but you might not get much fun rubbing her ashes over you cock.

she passed a couple of years ago and it's by accepting things like that that allow me to say things ,just not my cup of tea..i suppose.

Give it a go fella, I'm sure you'll like it. One of the hosts Alex Brooker was born with many disabilities including hand deformities and one of the lityle things he does at the end of interviewing celebs is play a game of Rock Paper Scissors. Because of his hand disabilities he always wins and puts the celebs on the back foot.
