The Last Leg Returns: Fresh Satire & Stars Await
It’s that time of year again, when the calendar pages flip, and a familiar, brilliant show gears up for its return. Mark your calendars for October 17, 2025, because The Last Leg is back for its 33rd series. For those who might not be familiar, this isn't just another talk show; it’s a lively, intelligent, and often hilarious dissection of the week's news, all delivered with a healthy dose of satire and genuine warmth.
From its origins during the 2012 Paralympic Games, The Last Leg, helmed by the ever-optimistic Adam Hills, the sharp Josh Widdicombe, and the insightful Alex Brooker, has carved out a unique space in our television landscape. They don't shy away from the big topics, but they approach them with a perspective that is both critical and incredibly human. It’s this blend of tackling serious issues with a comedic touch that makes the show so compelling. And who could forget the "Is it OK?" segment? It's a masterclass in turning awkward questions into moments of shared understanding and laughter, proving that sometimes, the best way to process the world is with a good giggle.
This new season promises another ten episodes, packed with celebrity guests kicking things off, like Frank Skinner and Stevie Martin in the first episode, followed by Richard Ayoade, Laura Smyth, and Catherine Bohart in the second. While the guests for the remaining episodes haven't been announced yet, we can be sure Adam, Josh, and Alex will be ready to dive into whatever the week throws at them. For those of us in places like New Zealand or Canada, getting access might require a bit of digital savvy, like using a VPN to connect to a UK server and signing up for a free My4 account. It’s a small step to ensure you don't miss out on this particular brand of commentary.
It's genuinely heartwarming to see a show that started with such a specific purpose continue to thrive and adapt, offering such a unique perspective on current events. As we navigate the complexities of our world, having a show that can both make us think and make us laugh feels more important than ever. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what this latest leg of The Last Leg brings. Will it be the insightful commentary or the laugh-out-loud moments that resonate most this season?
