Bonk-eyed future husband

Poor Russell Howard, having to air the first episode of his brand new series - Russell Howard's Good News - at the same time as the most-talked-about episode of Question Time there has ever been. Even I, his biggest fan (*stares into middle distance while toying with a mallet*), had to watch it on the iPlayer late last night.

But I'd definitely recommend it for next week: it's like a cross between the best bits of Mock The Week (the Russell Howard bits) and Harry Hill's TV Burp. It's mainly new material, as far as I can work out, but with a definite air of Russell's stand-up stuff, where he tells us that the world doesn't have to be made up of bigots and stupidity, and that there is always good news if you look for it.

If nothing else, he's living proof that you can have a wonky eye without being all bitter and racist about it.
