In an era when celebrities compete to say the least remarkable and potentially controversial things and politicians are media trained in the art of not answering questions to within an inch of their lives, "The Assembly" arrives as a series where no questions are "off limit" and questions must be answered.
Here's how to watch "The Assembly" from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
"The Assembly" debuted on Saturday, April 26 on ITV at 10 p.m. BST in the U.K.. Episodes air in the same slot every week and will also be available to stream live and on demand on ITVX for FREE.
• FREE STREAM — ITV/ ITVX (U.K.)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
First up for interrogation is actor David Tennant, the son of a Christian Minister and former Sunday School teacher who is asked whether he believes in God. SPOILER ALERT. That's not where he is at the moment.
Meanwhile, professional working class geezer Danny Dyer has to answer how his credentials as such match up to sending his son to a posh private school. Cue small uncomfortable silence and a degree of discomfort.
We have to wait and see what singer Jade Thirlwall and former England international and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker have to say for themselves but one thing is for sure —they will be answering whatever questions come their way.

How to watch 'The Assembly' from anywhere
Thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), "The Assembly" should be available to Brits no matter where they are. The software makes your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you find yourself. Our favorite is NordVPN – and you can find out why just below and in our NordVPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a British service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to ITVX and stream "The Assembly" for free.
