ITV1’s “The Assembly” offers a refreshingly different take on the celebrity interview. Forget the polished, pre-approved narratives; this show throws a bit of delightful chaos into the mix. The twist? The interviewers. “The Assembly” features a group of inquisitive individuals who are autistic, neurodivergent, and/or learning disabled, ready to ask the questions that often go unasked.
This Sunday, David Tennant bravely steps into the hot seat. Known for his quick wit and thoughtful responses, Tennant faces a barrage of unfiltered questions on topics ranging from the profound to the personal. Does he believe in God? How did he feel losing his parents? What’s his skincare routine? No subject is off-limits, leading to what ITV1 describes as a mix of honesty, humor, and unexpected moments.
The show is more than just an interview; it’s an experiment in communication, a chance for celebrities to cast aside their media training and engage in genuine, unscripted conversations. It’s a format that celebrates neurodiversity and challenges the conventions of how we interact with public figures. Can Tennant handle the heat? Tune in to ITV1 this Sunday, April 27th at 10:00 PM to find out.
