Great show but wrong host
Nothing whatsoever against LL as I really like her but this is not a good fit for her. Can you imagine LL getting the emotional outpouring from Johnny Vegas when he spoke (arguably the greatest DID) of asking his Father for the money for an ice cream or eating the family pet which was hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure. DID needs a journalist to probe and ask the secondary questions that make this programme so great. I too used to subscribe to this but stopped after Kirsty Young stepped down and only occasionally look up who’s been in. Previously, I would have listened regardless.
