BT, 22nd March 2017Russell Kane reveals what happened after Drunk History
"My daughter had norovirus the day before [I filmed Drunk History] so at home at that exact moment, my life Lindsay was getting violently ill with norovirus. But she didn't want to text me and scare me. So can you imagine the perfect storm of a whole bottle of Smirnoff hitting your system, as norovirus kicks in."
The Huffington Post, 21st March 2017Return of the rarely funny - and even more occasionally educational - series in which inebriated comedians demonstrate historical events. Tonight includes Chris O'Dowd and Alexander Armstrong recreating the Dambusters raid as directed by Joel Dommett, and Brian "Q" Quinn and Sal Vulcano discussing Alexander Graham Bell. The flaw is in the format: to the sober, the drunk are mostly merely annoying and boring.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 8th March 2017Drunk History UK to return for Series 3
Comedy Central has ordered a third series of Drunk History, the show in which comedians attempt to recount historic events whilst intoxicated.
British Comedy Guide, 4th September 2016The return of a wilfully stupid format, which asks comedians to relate tales of yore while plastered. Other performers then star in scenes reflecting exactly what the soused comic has said, lip-syncing to any dialogue. It's a way to make improvised comedy less reliable. Not much comes of Jack Whitehall and Michelle Keegan as Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth I, but Robin Hood and Maid Marian, played by Mathew Baynton and Emma Bunton to the blazingly profane imaginings of Tom Davis, is sensational.
