Tomorrow night ABC Comedy screens The Last Leg: Locked Down Under which features Adam Hills hosting from his garage in Melbourne.

Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker also host from their homes in London and Huddersfield with  guests Miriam Margolyes and Rob Beckett.

Last month Hills told TV Tonight, “It looks like our garage is going to be taken over and become a mini TV studio. And there might have to be a couple of cameras throughout the house as well.

“The other thing is, I’m going to have to write a TV show with people who are in London. So the only way I can do that is if we get on a Zoom session every night from about eight o’clock till midnight, because that’s morning their time.

“If we do The Last Leg live, I’ll be doing it at eight o’clock Saturday morning, which is 10pm London time.”

But while the number of episodes may be trimmed, Hills says his Channel 4 producer was looking at the bright side of the a lockdown edition.

“He started to get excited about the idea of saying, ‘Look, no one’s ever broadcast the show in Britain when the host has been in Australia!’ He said, ‘It’ll be funny, you walk out of the garage at 8:30 in the morning, and it’ll be light, and we’ll be 10 o’clock at night.

“You could get some Aussie celebs to pop in! This has opened up a whole new bunch of possibilities for us!’”

8:30pm Tuesday on ABC Comedy (repeat 10pm Wednesday on ABC).

  1. The episode wasn’t bad but there are other shows I have seen that have worked better in locked down …. Miriam Margoyles is brilliant in this … she was so taken out of context if you saw the UK press
