Hit TV show The Assembly to return for a second series
TV show The Assembly, described by critics as 'extraordinary' and 'the most groundbreaking TV show of the year', is to return for a second series. The programme, which sees a group of inquisitive interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled put questions to celebrities, was a big hit when the first series aired on ITV1 earlier this year. The names of the six new celebrities taking part are yet to be revealed, with the last series featuring Danny Dyer, David Tennant, Jade Thirlwall and Gary Lineker, and described as the 'warmest, funniest telly you'll watch this year' by The Guardian. Meanwhile, The Independent called it 'the most groundbreaking TV show of the year' and it was hailed as 'extraordinary' by the Radio Times. The series is produced by Rockerdale Studios, which said the same format will be repeated, where 'no question is off the table and no topic is out of bounds'. It is due to air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player in 2026. Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime commissioning at ITV, said: 'This really is ITV entertainment at its best: warm, funny, revealing and just that little bit mischievous.' Stu Richards, of Rockerdale Studios, said: 'I cannot believe we're still getting away with this. 'The chance to make something that plays by almost none of the rules of normal telly is just such a ludicrous privilege. I'm absolutely buzzing to be honest.' Gary Lineker, David Tennant, Jade Thirlwall, & Danny Dyer face their most honest, funny and heartwarming interviews yet, thanks to a remarkable group of autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled interviewers. The Assembly – coming soon to ITV & @ITVX #TheAssembly #ITV — ITV (@ITV) February 27, 2025 The show is an adaptation of the French series Les Rencontres du Papotin, which has featured appearances from notable French figures, including President Emmanuel Macron, who was grilled about his marriage. Last year, Welsh actor Michael Sheen appeared on the pilot which aired on the BBC, where he was asked questions including what it was like to date someone only five years older than his daughter and which two members of the royal family he would choose to swap out. The show then moved to ITV for a full series. It now airs in 14 territories, including French Canada, Australia and Brazil.

Miriam Margolyes weighs in on JK Rowling: ‘I think her opinion is too harsh'
Miriam Margolyes, known for her role as Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter films, has criticised author , describing her views as 'too harsh.' Speaking on a recent episode of the A Gay Old Time podcast, the out, proud lesbian said she disagreed with Rowling and called for more gentleness on all sides of the debate. The actress told host Nigel May: 'I think her opinion is too harsh.' 'If you can make people happy, do it' – Miriam Margolyes She also expressed discomfort with the 'fury' shown by parts of the trans community towards Rowling, encouraging kindness and understanding instead. Margolyes emphasised her support for transgender people: 'I really just feel supportive about this tiny group of people who are trans, and if they want me to use pronouns, I think it's the right thing to do. If you can make people happy, do it.' Rowling has long made headlines for her views on gender, drawing criticism from public figures such as Stephen Fry and actor Pedro Pascal. Fry recently called Rowling a 'lost cause,' while Pascal said: 'Bullies make me fucking sick.' Can't say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 28, 2025 Other Harry Potter cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, have also publicly supported the trans community in light of Rowling's comments. The row was reignited in April when Rowling took to X (formerly Twitter) to describe the UK Supreme Court's ruling on the legal definition of 'sex' as 'TERF VE Day.' Since then, Rowling has continued to make controversial remarks, including praising BBC News presenter Martine Croxall after she swapped the phrase 'pregnant people' for 'women' during a live broadcast. The author's most recent comment on gender ideology, posted on X, reads: 'Gender identity ideology is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief system.' Gender identity ideology is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief system that demands absurdities of its adherents. Thus we see perfectly intelligent people pretending they're not sure which sex they are, in the belief that this makes them virtuous. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 16, 2025 The conversation around transgender rights is currently at the heart of political debate, most recently following this weeks update to the UK's Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) guidance. The new guidance instructs schools to treat trans identities as a topic of 'significant debate' and advises educators not to teach that all people have a gender identity.
