Russell Howard's Good News

Pensioners in space...

Just under five hours until show four everyone but does anyone really like waiting? Nope. Well why not watch a preview now...

Russell on Facebook

So it's week four everyone which means we are nearly half way through the series which is *crazy*. Thanks for the stories you have been sending in, this is Russ looking at ideas from gemdelarouge, Charlie W and PoPpY_19. Also in the week that the Queen joined Facebook Russ talks about when someone pretended to be him. Enjoy!

You would go where in time?

It's the end of week three on Good News and everyone is now hardcore into planning the next show.

'Howard's Good News' breaks 1m mark

A new episode of Russell Howard's Good News pulled in more than 1m viewers on Thursday evening, according to overnight audience data.

Where would you go if you could travel back in time?

Thanks for all the stories you have been sending in for the show. This week Russell and the team have been looking at @JAMMorgan's suggestion about a woman spotted in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film supposedly on a mobile. It went massively viral but if you haven't seen it...

Eating crisps and saving billions

This week on the show Russell is going to be covering the cuts so we want to know how you would save £81 billion?

It's like The Inbetweeners take on current affairs as adolescent-type Russell Howard returns with this extended version of Thursday's night's opener to the third series of Good News. Sticking to its popular formula and fitting in with BBC3's bubbly remit, get ready for ADHD facial expressions, funny voices and jokes about tits, toilets and shagging. It should be praised as one of the only places on TV you'll hear "arsebiscuit" and George Osbourne in the same sentence but if you don't like Howard, Newsnight is mere days away.

Russell Howard on watching TV for a living

The 30-year-old's career in comedy has taken off thanks to his musings on the world as presented in newspapers, online and on telly. And although he spends half his time on-screen slagging off the way the world is reported in the country's papers, he knows he'd be lost without it.

Russell reading your comments from last night

Hope you all enjoyed the show last night?

As series three kicks off, Russell Howard must be one of the best informed comedians after devouring weeks of rolling news looking for funnies. It's entirely possible that there are some people watching this whose only exposure to world events are the bits they pick up from this show, HIGNFY and Mock The Week.

In that sense Howard is performing a valuable service - filtering the news through his giant comedy sieve to remove all the lumpy, unpalatable bits. Plus he's got the boyish enthusiasm and stand-up mettle to keep the ball rolling in front of a live studio audience. Good news for BBC3 and good news for comedy fans.
