Wet Leg<\/a>\u2019s Rhian Teasdale has joined up with Joe Wilkinson for a Channel 4 new series called Train-ing It. Watch an exclusive clip on NME in the video above.<\/p>\n

The new show is hosted by comedian, actor and screenwriter Wilkinson, and sees him join up with some famous faces to accompany them on their respective journeys.<\/p>\n

Structured as a five-part series, the show is made in partnership with Rail Delivery Group \u2013 the membership organisation that represents Britain\u2019s train operators \u2013 and sees the comedian delve into conversation with celebrities as they travel the country by train.<\/p>\n

Launching last month, episode one saw Wilkinson joined by actor Michael Sheen on a journey from London to the Rose Theatre in Kingston. Alongside the funny, curious and quietly revealing chats, the show also touches upon Wilkinson\u2019s genuine affection for train travel and his fascination with what happens behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

NME can exclusively reveal a new clip from the second episode, which sees Wet Leg singer Teasdale join as a guest. In the episode, Wilkinson joins her as she travels from London Victoria to her hometown of the Isle Of Wight \u2013 where she was going to visit her mum before performing at Coachella 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The episode sees them meet at the train station and board together, and Wilkinson launches into the chat by asking her how she came to form Wet Leg after starting out as a solo artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had this one gig, it was so weak and I was like \u2018OK I\u2019m not doing this anymore\u2019,\u201d Teasdale explained. \u201cI really couldn\u2019t hack the idea of doing it by myself, so I was like \u2018Hester [Chambers], will you please come and play guitar with me? Please can we do these shows together?\u2019 \u2013 That was the end of my solo career, and we decided that we should start a band.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u2018Chaise Lounge\u2019 singer then shared what it was like to get signed to a record label in lockdown, and explained that she thinks the drummer has the hardest role in any band.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think being the drummer would be a nightmare job because you\u2019re the one holding it down,\u201d she explained. \u201cYou\u2019re always the one starting the song, deciding what the tempo is going to be. Plus, we never play to a click!\u201d<\/p>\n

Check out the rest of the clip above, where the singer shares NikNaks with the comedian, reveals that Wet Leg will often do just one rehearsal before a festival, discusses horror films, and presents him with a device to \u201cmeasure the electromagnetic frequencies in a room\u201d to work out if it is haunted or not.<\/p>\n

Announcing the series<\/a> earlier this year, Wilkinson said he was \u201cthrilled\u201d to be hosting it as he \u201cloves train travel and I love chatting to folk that I admire\u201d.<\/p>\n

As for Wet Leg, earlier this year, Teasdale and co. caught up with NME at the 2026 BRIT Awards<\/a>, where they were nominated for both British Group and Alternative\/Rock categories.<\/p>\n

Both nods came in celebration of their sophomore album \u2018Moisturizer<\/a>\u2019, which was released in July and praised by NME as seeing them \u201creturn smarter, sexier and altogether stronger\u201d<\/a> than ever.<\/p>\n

That record went on to be nominated for three awards at the Grammys<\/a> and, since then, the band have taken part in the huge, star-studded \u2018Help(2)\u2019 album for War Child<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWar Child is such an important charity because the world is just scary,\u201d the singer told us. \u201cIt\u2019s a really scary place right now. So, being in the position that we\u2019re in, it was literally the least anyone could do. It was easy for us to do something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Moisturizer\u2019 was named on NME\u2018s list of the Best Albums of 2025, <\/a>and celebrated as having tracks that \u201ccould go toe-to-toe\u201d with the best aspects of their breakthrough debut record.<\/a> Back in November, the band teased that their third studio album was already finished.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wet Leg\u2019s Rhian Teasdale has joined up with Joe Wilkinson for a Channel 4 new series called Train-ing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,591,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-384392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-indie","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
