Ross Noble Freewheeling

This week, Twitter packs the hugely entertaining Ross Noble off to the West Country in an attempt to stage that "infinite monkeys and typewriters" business (a ruse, presumably, to get him to say the word "monkeys" again), start his own religion, Rosstafarianism, and generally muck about. En route, he meets the delightful Law Turley from the band Mozura, along with the inspiration for Matt Damon's character in the film We Bought A Zoo. Any lessons learned on his journey? "Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

The Twitter-led adventures continue apace as irrepressible comedian Ross Noble cherry-picks his favourite tweets from the daft, dangerous and entertaining selection proposed by his faithful followers. This week his devotees become bona fide disciples as their leader sets up his own religion in the West Country. Next he embarks on an ambitious experiment to test out a Noble version of the theory that involves monkeys, typewriters and the works of William Shakespeare. Friends, chimps, countrymen, lend me your tweets...

TV review: Ross Noble's Freewheeling - episode 2

It all feels very slapdash and cheap but... it's funny. Ross Noble is just plain funny and his love of the strange and ability to go with the flow and improvise can turn even the most mundane event into something hilarious.

This week, Ross Noble takes more suggestions from the public via Twitter to determine the next destination for his peculiar travel-meets-improvised comedy show. First up it's a trip to Chesterfield, where Ross is told a shameful tale about Phil Tufnell. Then he's tied up with a massive scarf and lightly harassed at the Women's Institute in St Helens. But easily the best of all is an offer from Martin Daniels to help his dad Paul get an old magic trick out of his shed in Banbury. It's unexpected telly gold.

TV Review: Freewheeling

The sight of Ross Noble verbally sparring with a bible-bashing slightly manic street preacher in a shop doorway or hugging a fan whose flies were undone were the highlights of my evening. There is clearly plenty more mileage in Freewheeling.

One of the brighter ideas to emerge from Twitter fever, here shaggy-locked comedian Ross Noble embarks on an unusual spin on the travelogue idea - his journey is driven entirely by social media.

The intrepid Noble sets off wherever his Twitter followers send him and it turns into a merry old motorbike ride, climaxing with a ceramic pet competition (featuring some very baffled judges) after a visit to an old people's home. Rather delightfully weird.

Ross Noble's new TV venture, Freewheeling, starts on Dave tonight. Part-travelogue and part comedy show, the programme sees him zipping around the country on his motorbike, taking his lead as to what to do next from suggestions made by his followers on Twitter.

TV review: Ross Noble: Freewheeling, Dave

There were definitely moments last night when we might rather have been watching "Great Pavements of Britain". Not every member of the public "gets" Noble's particular brand of whimsy and his encounters with these blank-faced Britons were usually awkward, or even sad, as opposed to funny. But though he led us down several dead ends, Noble did eventually turn onto the road marked "quality television".
