Hi everyone

I watch ‘The last leg’ on channel 4 catch up, (that way I can watch in comfort from my bed), it’s got to be the funniest programme on telly, whether you’re disabled or not, it makes me lol, not a lot of that going on in my life these days,

If you haven’t seen it, have an open mind and like satirical humour, take a look, it’s fast becoming better than have I got news for you.

l love this sort of satirical humour - and it seems ‘guests’ on the programme are also keen to join in - which is a good sign.

Doesn’t take life too seriously. Everyone’s a target. Love Adam Hills ! He has a signer in his live shows (only seen live dvds) who he winds up. Funny as. And he has a rant every now and then… his jibes at Putin are hilarious

Have to agree. I have been watching it since the Paralympic Games and its chuffing hilarious. I love the rants and that anyone is a target, disabled or not. Bloody hilarious

Hi David, no definitely not all doom and gloom, we have our own resident comedian Wobblyboy, has anyone heard from him lately? no wait a minute I’ll ask on the board. Welcome along David, I am on facebook but rarely use it, I’m sure you’ll meet others who are more active with it.

The explanation was in the next line. … what they used to say on the adverts ‘we’re not just here for the bad things in life, like a blocked drain…’ ??? Scotch and larger??? I’ll keep going, my messages will make sense in about half an hour…

I loved this show. I struggle to find something similar on TV recently. Has anyone any good suggestions?
