Anthony Gibson, Metro, 12th April 2012Tousled, 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."
