Glad to hear this, I enjoyed the first series.

From BBC Press Office

Following the huge success of his first series, Russell Howard will be returning to BBC Three with two more helpings of his topical news show.

Series one was the best performing studio-based entertainment show BBC Three has ever launched. [1]

Series two will hit our screens next month, with a third series planned for later this year.

Once again, Russell will scour the media looking for the big stories dominating the news agenda and offer his own unique perspective on them.

He will also be picking out the sometimes overlooked little news nuggets that make him smile.

Russell Howard said of the re-commission: "I just want to say thanks to everyone who watched the show and I can't wait to start working on the next series."

BBC Executive Editor for Entertainment, Karl Warner, said: "BBC Three is all about supporting new talent and trying new things. Russell is proof of this and a proper star.

"His first series was a huge hit with BBC Three's young audience and we're delighted he's returning to the channel with not one, but two, more runs."

I didn't catch every episode, but I thought it was OK. Always good to see Howard on the telly.

How unfortunate. I watched two episodes of the first series and found his buck-toothed liberal gurning even more infuriating than I do on Mock the Week.
