BBC News, 18th July 2014Classic interview: Russell Howard
One day your children will say to you "what's a DVD?". You can simply plug their hologooglegizmo into this article and give them the answer. Back in 2009 comedy DVDs were selling by the truckload. People still actually bought things in shops and slid them into machines. While Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans and Peter Kay were the big sellers Russell Howard was comedy's rising star. I interviewed him for The Times in Brighton in sunny June where he was shooting his live DVD for a Christmas release. Five years on Howard is very much in the premier league, taking his feelgood banter around the globe.

British Comedy Guide, 11th February 2014Radio Times review
Cracking Saturday night family telly is tough, and bringing in puppets - even Jim Henson puppets - might seem like a last resort. But That Puppet Game Show, in which two celebrities vie for a £10,000 charity prize on a game show presented and staffed entirely by puppets, is no cheap'n'flimsy weekend whimsy. Each puppet, from host Dougie Colon (think Vernon Kay by way of Peter Kay) to softly spoken but ballsy show producer Mancie O'Neill, has a "personality" to go with their distinctively wide, smooth Henson mouths. The celebrities, this week Jonathan Ross and Katherine Jenkins, are game. And the challenges, which are facilitated by small, bendy frankfurters in clothes, are more than likely to raise a laugh from the average sofa.
