Kevin Bridges' Twitter account hacked

Scottish funnyman Kevin Bridges has confirmed that his Twitter account was hacked, after a series of obscene messages were posted from his account.

If you think there's only room for one Mrs Merton-style chatshow in your world, look away now. The nation's favourite Irish mammy continues her "hilarious" assault on celebrities, and what better way to do that than test Ross Kemp's survival skills in her lounge? Comedian Kevin Bridges brings his mum along for the ride and Steve Backshall is also in the house. With music from Pixie Lott, it's a Saturday night staple whether you like it or not.

Forgive me for mentioning this awful programme again. After last week, I swore I'd had enough and would never deign to include it again.

But one of the guests tonight is Kevin Bridges and he's bringing his mum, Patricia, along. My advice is to watch this on catch-up so you can scoot through all the noisy nonsense and just watch the Kevin Bridges segment.

When Mrs Brown prompts Kevin to tell us about his plans, he says he's due to go on tour in Australia and the pair reminisce, saying this is where Kevin first met Agnes Brown. She was "standing at the urinal beside me," he quips.

When the proud Mrs Bridges comes on stage she tells Mrs Brown about her son's generosity. Not only did he pay off her mortgage, he also bought her a Scottie dog ornament from a jumble sale.

They're joined on the sofa by Ross Kemp, although it's hard for Mrs Brown to interview him as she's still furious that he cheated on Tiffany.

I'll grudgingly admit I liked this section of the show.

Arriving for a 52nd series, HIGNFY has rarely been more welcome. Over the next 11 weeks, Ian Hislop and Paul Merton will, as ever, captain the teams skewering the increasing ludicrousness of world affairs. They'll be running over the US presidential election, too, which is likely to provide ample quarry for some terrifying hilarity. Nick Clegg has a go in the host's chair, while Kevin Bridges is one of the week's guest panellists.

Opinion: mainstream v alternative - is the gap closing?

We live in interesting times for comedy. I never thought I'd see Sara Pascoe on The Graham Norton Show. Maybe the gap is closing between what we describe as alternative and what we describe as mainstream. Maybe one of the legacies of Comedy Vehicle is that it did attract comedy fans to more cerebral notions of the nature of comedy. Sadly not enough for BBC2's beancounters.
