When blind comedian Chris McCausland appears on Have I Got News For You complaints often follow. The Liverpudlian says viewers get very frustrated on his behalf and regularly turn to Twitter to vent their frustration.
“It’s appalling that the BBC are still using photographs and visual jokes’,” he says they tweet. “But that’s what the show is, and I want to do that show,” he tells the BBC Access All podcast.
It’s a refreshing take on inclusivity and accessibility that people often tie themselves in knots over. Many of the panel shows he appears on, including Would I Lie To You, rely on visual cues such as pictures, items or missing word rounds
