Jenn Selby, The Independent, 19th December 2013Wherein the week is thoroughly mocked standing up rather than sitting down behind a desk, and in an even more ranty fashion. Paul Chowdhry takes over from Jon Richardson as the host for this series of the topical comedy show, taking the week's events and handing them off to comics for lampoonery.

Good News is a monster hit for BBC3 and a routine iPlayer chart topper, and has a devoted social network following.
