My Kind Of News Show

Lots of adults like to watch the news in the morning to see what is going on in the world. But when I have a free period first thing and want to catch up on the issues of the day, I get The Last Leg up on All4. Their form of News is far more interesting!

The Last Leg is brilliant because it gets the balance right between fun/jokes/entertainment and actual news/politics. Although they can be quite biased when it comes to Brexit, they are generally fair and honest, far more so than many online sources. And I love Josh, Adam and Alex, they are just hilarious. The fact that two of them are living with disabilities also means the show gives this minority some representation.

The show also has special guests, a mix of other comedians and politicians, including Jeremy Corbin himself on one occasion, although I am not sure these politicians always know what they are getting themselves in for!

To give you a taste of the madness, here is a clip where they encourage people to vote in the last election:



Overall, I think the show is a great way for teens to get an introduction to politics that is enjoyable and not too complex. Do you watch The Last Leg?
