I'd like to think Russell is behind these older episodes, many of which I have been unable to find, being put on youtube. On behalf of American fans of British comedy everywhere, we salute you

[@AnticDuelist77]

I agree 100%!!!!

[@AnticDuelist77]

...Also, yes, he was indeed behind it. Somewhere on the Good News channel he uploaded a vid saying that he wanted them to be on KZbin so fans that couldn't watch it on television would still be able to see it. It's here somewhere. I've seen it.

I’m not British and this is the only place I’ve seen Boris Johnson but he honestly sounds like the biggest meme, is he even real? Lol

[@callumhoulston1786]

Unfortunately yes he’s our prime minister and he’s such a joke of a prime minister but we arnt crazy he’s only prime minister cus the other options wernt that great when talking about bexit ( were all just fed up of it now doesn’t matter if we’re remainer or leaver , so we couldn’t be bothered to stop it and he said he’d do it and tbf he did )

[@luciousp226]

As a brit, we feel the same about trump

[@reganpeters2832]

@@luciousp226 is trump as bad as the media say he is because I saw a clip where he says if his daughter wasn't his daughter he would be dating her

[@luciousp226]

@@reganpeters2832 he isn't exactly a good person but I don't think he is as bad as he's made out to be sometimes, he's done and said some awful things, infact the thing about him saying if he wasn't related to his daughter he'd be dating her is very much true, but he's still not as bad as people make him out to be atleast in my personal opinion

That 84 y.o. woman would have been 13-18 years old during WW2. After you've lived through the Blitz and Battle of Britain and the tough times which followed in the UK for about 10 years after, a punk thug invading your home ain't nothin' ! He's lucky to have gotten out alive.

Thanks for uploading this! Classic comedy👍🏼

[@user-ck2kk9oo8k]

I like that when it's the nice story section, he doesn't even make a joke or anything. He basically just says "that's nice isn't it" and moves on.

[@everwhat013]

"what kind of a person would go to a cuddle club?" well, you in an episode of the russell howard hour about 10 years after you said that..lol

[@feralbluee]

i’ve watched a number of comedians on Russell’s show, and i find them mostly sex jokes and body jokes. very non-witty basically. but i love this guy. he writes witty material and has a great delivery! and you can definitely see why they work together both comedically and energy wise. and he’s just gorgeous. some guys look so good in suits! the vest and longer hair are incredible! i want more Dan Atkinson. Russell is an absolute treasure though. i love that he grins through his whole schtick. 😛😊🌷🌱

Even thought it's series 4 still good stuff!
