Further details

Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker are joined live in Rio by special guest Stephen Mangan for a comedic review of the early Paralympic highlights and a look at what lies ahead.

There are clips, sketches and discussion, which via the show's #isitok enable both viewers and athletes alike to ask questions about the games and disability in general. Nothing is off the table.

The show features cyclist Sarah Storey ahead of her attempt to win an incredible 12th gold medal and Jody Cundy, the man who famously lost his cool on the track in 2012.
