The Last Leg gets Ofcom complaints over Thunberg joke

The Last Leg viewers were divided over the controversial gag by Rosie Jones about the 16-year-old climate activist on the New Year's special of the Channel 4 comedy show.

Kyle O'Sullivan, The Mirror, 2nd January 2020

Adam Hills presents a special two-hour edition of the show, in which to bury this frankly rancid year in concentrated earth and try to move on. While Johnny Vegas pours the pints, Alex Brooker aims to become the first disabled man in history to complete a high-speed lap in a F4 racer at Donington Park.
