New Weekly Original All 4 Series 'The Last Leg: Correspondents'

21 June 2017

In a post-truth world where journalists, pollsters, and a whole litany of experts have lost their ability to get inside people's heads and work out what the hell they are thinking, Adam, Josh and Alex are going to send our their own Last Leg Correspondents around the UK to find out what the hell is happening outside of the studio in the big bad world.

Launching on Tuesday 20th June, 'The Last Leg: Correspondents' is a brand new comedy strand exclusive to All 4. In each episode a new correspondent hits the streets of the UK investigating topical stories. Each correspondent will approach their report from their own unique perspective and allows them to deal with the stories in amusing, inventive and enlightening ways.

In the first report, comedian Tez Ilyas asks 'How To Get Radicalised’. As well as speaking to experts, Tez also takes to the streets and asks the British public to find out how everyday people think this might happen.

The second report (available on All 4 from Tuesday 27th June) sees comedian Richard Gadd looking at Nationalism and Devolution with future Correspondents episodes from comic Ivo Graham on Fox Hunting and episodes with Lolly Adefope and Rosie Jones.

'The Last Leg: Correspondents' will run alongside the current series of 'The Last Leg' with a new episode available on All 4 every Tuesday. The double BAFTA nominated show has just started an eleventh series of 14 episodes which included a two hour post 'Elegtion Special' on 9th June plus a Jo Cox tribute special 'The Last Leg: ReUnited Kingdom' on 16th June.

 

New episodes will be available to watch weekly every Tuesday here.
