The Last Leg Guests This Week

The Last Leg To Get General Election SpeciaL

More topical fun and chat from Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe this week, with special guests comedians Maisie Adam, Chris McCausland and actor David Harewood*. 

Liverpudlian comedian McCausland has become a bit of a Tv regular in recent years. He has appeared on  8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Have I Got News For You, the Royal Variety Performance and QI. He has also recently recorded yet another appearance for the next series of Would I Lie To You?: “They told me I’ve been in four consecutive series and nobody else apart from Bob Mortimer has done that. It’s pretty good company to be in.”

He has also filmed a C4 travel series due to go out later this year and also a radio series, following a successful pilot episode, entitled You Heard It Here First. He is also one of theanagers in the rebooted version of Fantasy Football League hosted by Matt Lucas and Elis James. McCausland is currently touring his Speaky Blinder show and has a big date at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Details here.

All of this and he met members of the Royal Family when he appeared on the Royal Variety Performance. “You're given so many rules. Don't talk to them unless you're spoken to. Don't shake hands. Don't touch them. No selfies. And then Prince William just walks over and goes, 'Hey Chris, it's the Duke. How's it going?' and slapped his hand into mine. He was very chilled out and relatable. It was like talking to a cousin you hadn't seen in 15 years at a wedding or something.”

A portrait of actor David Harewood has been commissioned to go on display at Harewood House, to better reflect its history in its art collection.

The 18th Century house near Leeds was built on the fortune made by Henry Lascelles through the slave trade.

The Homeland actor, who has spoken about his mental health in recent years, said it was "well overdue".

*Note - Oti Mabuse who has been listed in some places is not appearing.

Update - we are guessing that as the show is live they may be discussing the Gary Lineker, Match of the day situation. People have certainly been suggesting it as an #isitok...

#isitok that the BBC has cancelled David Attenborough

#IsItOk that Adam,Alex and Josh can present Match of the Day tomorrow night?
#IsItOk that Gary Lineker got the first red card of his career? VAR will surely have to take a look at that one…
#IsItOk that the BBC has scored the biggest own goal?
 
The Last Leg, Friday, March 10, 10pm, C4.
