Used to be funny, but it's been infected by the virus of social justice/identity politics. Give it a miss.
3 guys, 2 are disabled, ones a ginger (uh?) sit and chat about current affairs.
The ginger laughs at every fifth word, uttered by the host (Hills) and its kind of like watching a sitcom, when you are TOLD when to laugh!
But lately (2021) It has just become a 'take the covid vaccine tool' show, scripted, pathetic, parroting the BS mainstream narrative!
The host Adam hills (aussie, go figure!..) Is obviously being paid well, because he literally has no idea what is going on with the SCAMdemic, and what the endgame is!
He just parrots the mainstream crap, without a second thought!
Tool!
It's not even funny!
We have the MSM news to do that for us! Shame on you Adam!
Just say no!
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.
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!
I find the show Really funny and good to see more disabled people on TV. It's great to see them able to talk about disability and disabled issues. Their personal and political views won't be for everyone but I agree with them and find it very funny.
