The Assembly (2026)

Season 2 started last night, with a visit from Hudson Williams, one of the stars of “Heated Rivalry”, a show about two gay hockey players who hook up. Hudson says he suffered from ADHD when he was younger. He seems better able to cope with his problem now, but if there was anything that could have set him off again, it would have been this half-hour show on CBC

We came across this program accidently a month ago. The four season 1 programs featured Jann Arden, Allan Hawco, Arlene Dickinson and Russell Peters. The guests are chosen Canadian celebrities and people who have succeeded in spite of youthful learning difficulties. Here’s last nights program in full:

Evidently, there are versions of this program in the UK and Australia. The Canadian show is filmed in Vancouver.
