I like Russell Howard, and I like his Good News.

That is all.

Agreeeeed.

But would you lovely ladies like him if he were a fat, sexist and racist joke telling comedian who slouched on his mik stand, instead of being a lean and clean, springy and very politically correct modern young man with lank hair? Because I have my doubts!

Yes. If he was a completely different person, with a completely different personality we'd have a different opinion on him.

You've caught us out there! How shallow we are!...

Not your fault really, all females are the same.

Yes imagine if he didn't act like Russel Howard at all, then I really don't think I'd like Russel Howard.

Hurry up and eat that thing, you're making me feel hungry.

You'd think they could have afforded to make more than the one trailer.

I did it! I got a credit on the show. If you look at the credits, I'm mentioned under my Twitter name @ianwolf.

\o/ Well done.

Well done Ian.

Overall this series, what I've seen of it, has been a definite improvement on series one, but still a bit hit and miss for me, it seems to rely a little too heavily on the news items being funny in themselves to justify having a professional and very funny stand up as a front man. That said, Russell's presentation is characteristically great, but could do with less of the: Funny news clip followed by a shot of Russell looking, bemused/shocked/turned on (delete as applicable) formula they seem to use.

Did anyone else notice the error that was made in this week's "Extra" edition? They spelt guest stand-up James Acaster's name wrong. They spelt his surname with an "O" instead of an "E".

Not such a glaring typo though as the title; which of course should be spelt 'Blinky McMuppetface's Good News'.

It really irritates me that this is called "satire". The Euro-crisis could tear Europe apart, Israel is considering attacking Iran and Syria is still killing it's innocent people. But hey! Never mind, lets look at this hilarious internet video of a cat!
