ITVX’s “The Assembly” offers a refreshingly different take on the celebrity interview. This Sunday, football legend and broadcaster Gary Lineker takes the hot seat, facing a panel of interviewers who are autistic and learning-disabled. Expect unscripted, unpredictable, and often hilarious conversation as Lineker fields questions on everything from his controversial exit from the BBC to the less-than-stellar personalities he’s encountered throughout his career.
“The Assembly” is not scared of asking awkward questions. For the interviewers, there are no topics off-limits. Their curiosity and directness will likely lead to some unexpected revelations from Lineker. Whether he’s discussing his broadcasting career or giving opinions on more personal matters, Lineker’s candor is admirable, even when he seems slightly taken aback by the line of questioning.
It’s a format that levels the playing field, giving a voice to those often excluded from mainstream media while providing a fresh perspective on familiar faces. Catch “The Assembly” this Sunday, May 11th at 6:00 AM GMT on ITVX.
