The Last Leg Winter Paralympics Special

Channel 4, Friday, 9pm.

There's a lot of similarities between winter sports and British comedy TV chat shows.

Try as we might, and we do – a lot – we're generally not very good at it.

Every so often though, there's just that one that surprises everyone and brings home the gold.

The Last Leg is just that podium topping show.

It began life running alongside Channel 4's Summer Paralympic coverage during the London 2012 games and has gone on to be a mainstay of the channel's Friday night schedule.

Fronted by Adam Hills alongside Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe, the show has shone a light on disability through comedy and passionate support for athletes with disabilities – the former two if you didn't know already are themselves disabled.

Lead presenter Adam – an Aussie – has even become an adopted Team GB supporter during Olympic and Paralympic Games, breaking his Anglophilia only to rub English fans' noses in it during the 2017-18 Ashes series Down Under.

The show, which is regularly sprinkled with celebrity stardust each week, also unashamedly uses its platform to put its presenters through the ringer to hilarious results, with this episode no different.

Highlighting some of the sports on offer at the Winter Paralympics in South Korea, Josh was put through his paces during the ad break on a treadmill to get his heart rate pumping before having a go at shooting in a Biathlon.

Not content with that, the trio then went on a visit to see if they could offer some assistance to GB para ice hockey.

Spoiler alert – they couldn't.

The Last Leg works because it takes everything you thought you couldn't say about disability and laughs in the face of it through things like its popular #isitokay Twitter hash tag.

Not only that, it invites you in to join in and goes a long way to breaking down the barriers and stigma.

So in that vein, I ask - #isitokay to like The Last Leg? You bet it is.
