Good to see Russell Howard, the agreeably warm foil to Frankie Boyle's savage humour on Mock The Week and an excellent stand-up in his own right, has earned his own show. As with Mock The Week, he'll be riffing off the week's news - and since he's a Bright Young Thing, they'll be accompanying blogs and tweets and whatever else.
Sharon Lougher, Metro, 22nd October 2009Good News everyone!
Russell Howard's Good News - possibly Professor Farnsworth's favourite new show - starts tonight at 10.30pm on BBC Three. Here's Russell with more.
David Thair, BBC Comedy, 22nd October 2009The regular panellist on Mock the Week gets his own weekly topical comedy show. I don't know too much else about it, other than an extended version will show over the weekend. For me, Howard is the most likeable of MTW's regular panellists, and his brand of comedy is one that will hopefully sustain a full nine-part series.

Fans of his regular appearances on Mock The Week and anyone nostalgic for his old show on 6 Music will be delighted to see that Russell will be fronting a new topical comedy series on BBC Three called Russell Howard's Good News.
