Dominic Herbert, The Mirror, 12th May 2013I have a soft spot for Russell Howard, because he's a very nice young man and, having sat through a three hour recording of a 30-minute Good News episode, I admire his attention to tiny detail. He's back tonight with an eighth series of the show that's a cheery mash-up of Have I Got News for You and the late, lamented Harry Hill's TV Burp. Good News is a monster hit for BBC3 and a routine iPlayer chart topper, and has a devoted social network following.
