The Assembly

Originally a one off on the BBC but now a series on ITV, The Assembly is currently my favourite TV show and the best thing I’ve seen on the box for… well, a very long time.
When a group of neurodiverse, autistic and individuals with learning disabilities interview celebrities, magic happens.
The first episode featuring Danny Dyer is a thing of great beauty. A rare example of a stereotypically, masculine ‘man’s man’ allowing himself to be authentically vulnerable and demonstrating great sensitivity. Very moving. It’s also hilarious too. I can’t remember a show where I cried with emotion and laughter within the space of a few minutes.
I’m not bingeing it (although I really want to!) but only watching one episode at a time, to savour it like a fine wine.
