Comedy Central reprimanded for Christmas Day f-bomb

Josh Widdicombe said the offending swear word during a broadcast of Live At The Apollo which aired before the watershed.

Events in the world have rather overtaken The Last Leg. Such is the madness of unfolding news in the United States and in our own parliament, there seems to be no shortage of quality special guests - David Tennant or Russell Brand, say - turning up to voice an opinion on the carnage. This week's guest is still under wraps, but host Adam Hills, assisted by Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe, will be passing comment on the latest news events.

The boys are back - namely Josh Widdicombe, Alex Brooker and esteemed host Adam Hills - for a new series of The Last Leg, following their sterling work covering the 2016 Paralympic Games from Rio. For this inaugural episode of 2017, the team are joined by the Broadchurch and former Doctor Who star David Tennant, who is on hand to assist in their comic summation of the week's news, plus handling some of the standard #isitok tweets from viewers.

With the Beeb's Bake Off all but over, Sue Perkins now has plenty of time to chair the new series of this wacky quiz show. Teams - led by professional know-it-all Richard Osman and panel game veteran Josh Widdicombe - are grilled on past and present celebrity trivia. Except, confusingly, all the celebs in question have the same name. Silly, semi-interesting and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny stuff.

Preview - Insert Name Here

When Sue Perkins-fronted panel show Insert Name Here began earlier this year, there was not that much notice taken of it, which was a shame as it was one of the better efforts in terms of panel shows.
