Because it was Adele or anyone successful and constantly in the media? If Joan Rivers had said the same about someone like Rosie O Donnell do you honestly think that he would have ranted like that?
I think it's partly because Adele is a singer, and what she looks like is irrelevant as long as it doesn't affect her voice. And Joan Rivers was a convenient figure-head for a whole culture of media criticising women for having less than perfect appearance when it's not relevant to their job. It's a tough thing to be a female in the public eye nowadays. They attract a kind of bitchiness that their male equivalents don't. It's a form of double-standards that can only discourage female talent, making us all culturally poorer.
I don't see why it can't be 45 minutes. The next two shows that usually follow are pre-recorded and being Friday night they shouldn't suffer from being on slightly later.

Fantastic news!
Brilliant stuff! Lets hope C4 gives this excellent programme the hour slot it deserves.
That is quite good news.
I'll be happy as long as it is at least 45 minutes (and not 30!) and doesn't get chopped to make way for something (I think) inferior!
If that's the case, then it is brilliant news!!
As a disabled person Im loving the is it ok as Im scared to ask sometimes lol
Yes!
I love The Last Leg...probably my favourite programme at the moment. Disgraceful they've cut it to 30 minutes!!!
Great but they have to start taking it seriously and not keep cutting the time down.
It simply is the best thing on TV at the moment and it's shameful to just be 30 minutes long.
Alex just has to release a single of some kind.
Now it's just "Dartmoor's finest".
I'm sure before they added something on to it like "It's Dartmoor's finest amature sheep shearer, Josh Widdecombe"
I hope that the next series gets it's rightful schedule spot and is at least 45 minutes long.
Also maybe we'll get a thread title with the correct name for the presenter
Gutted Can't wait to see the cycling though
Yeah the cycling!
I don't want Adam to win though
well in Scottish years hes about 50
Bugger!
