Tousled, cheeky Russell Howard bounces back onto BBC3 for a new series of his silly, funny, topical comedy show. Such is the channel's delight in their young star, for the first time he's been given a proper, grown-up prime time slot and a longer run.

Howard describes Good News as "really good disposable telly. You can watch it while you are ironing." It's energetic and it's a laugh; a look at the week's news stories, the big stuff and the nonsense, those endearingly parochial stories that pad out nightly regional news programmes and local papers, unearthed by Good News's researchers who, he says, "find those characters we have all seen. They are normally smiling and holding a massive turnip."

Portrait of the artist: Russell Howard

Is there anything about your career you regret? Doing backstage presenting at The Brits in 2008. I didn't really want to be there: I just don't care what people like Lily Allen think about stuff. But I know that some people do care, so I couldn't just slouch through it.
