Forget the polished PR spin. ITV1’s new interview series “The Assembly,” based on an Australian format, puts a unique twist on the celebrity chat show, throwing a panel of neurodiverse individuals into the mix. This Saturday marks the series premiere, and who better to face this unconventional inquisition than the one and only Danny Dyer?
Dyer, known for his straight-talking style and salt-of-the-earth charm, is quizzed by an audience of autistic, neurodivergent, and learning-disabled individuals, each with their own set of insightful and often unexpected questions. From his personal experiences with therapy to his status as a somewhat unlikely sex symbol for mums, no topic is off-limits. Expect a conversation that touches on everything from class and kebabs to absent fathers and Brexit, filtered through Dyer’s distinctly East London lens.
The result, as ITV1 puts it, aims to be “honest, funny, chaotic and heartwarming.” “The Assembly” sets out to change the way we approach celebrity interviews, giving a platform to voices often excluded from mainstream media. See if it lives up to the hype this Saturday at 10:05 PM on ITV1.
