The British version will see Michael Sheen (Good Omens) quizzed by roughly 35 interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent or learning disabled.

If the original French show is anything to go by, the questions will be probing, funny and brutal. In The A Talks, no subject is off limits, but the results are often more touching than they are shocking.
