It's probably not bet-hedging to suggest the last leggers lean more towards Team Remain, given the EU's anti-discrimination law for people with disabilities, and the sort of European social funding that last year saw 87,000 British disabled people helped towards employment. So now the EU referendum vote has been decisively cast, what will hosts Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe - and a special guest - make of it all?

Corbyn's Last Leg appearance impresses (most) viewers

Jeremy Corbyn's appearance on Channel 4's The Last Leg on Friday night sent Twitter into a meltdown.

Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 11th June 2016

The self-proclaimed "three guys with four legs" are back with a new series - and a special guest interviewee in the shape of Jeremy Corbyn. As with Nick Clegg last year, will Alex Brooker be reaching for his "Bullshit" buzzer much - or will Josh Widdicombe be chiming in with his own "That's true, actually" button? Given the government's record on disability issues, the leader of the opposition is almost certainly among friends here.

Adam Hills: 'Disabled athletes are cheating too'

"We want our sports people to be amazing and we place incredible pressure on them in terms of advertising money," Hills says, "so we, as a culture, are willing to turn a blind eye. At the 2008 Paralympics, one country was doing particularly well and I asked the Australian coach why? He said: "'They were good at the Olympics, too. They've got the best drugs. They can't be detected.' We talk to a lot of para-athletes and you hear them saying, 'He's totally doped up.'"
