Thank heavens, the Powers That Be realized what a great talent Russell is and continued with the series. One of the few series that I still enjoy watching in re-runs.

[@damightyshabba439]

Totally with you. I (ahem) "acquired" complete sets of 8 out ten (and does count down), Taskmaster, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Would I lie to You and all the others.... when its "I'm nearly ready for bed" o'clock... thats what I watch - no stress, no story to follow, just some light hearted, funny stuff. I sleep much better! If you want a laugh seek out Russell in an early episode of Buzzcocks... curtain hair, very greasy! Between Iran, Korea and Russia I think we all know how this going to end.... So lets just have some fun on the way.... "Always look on the.... "

I've only discovered Russell Howard in recent years; I'll have to look for that! I'm in the US and there was an old 90s era sitcom called The Powers That Be which revolved around a fictional senator's dysfunctional family and co-workers. It had a really good cast (incl John Forsythe, Taylor Holland, David Hyde Pierce, a *young* Joseph Gordon Levitt, Peter MacNichol, Cloris Leachman even played the senator's Mom in a few episodes). I had been looking for it and saw that it's currently on some streaming platforms which is why your comment caught my eye.. The weirdest thing is that nowadays, the show's ridiculous characters and plots are downright wholesome compared to the US' current political landscape. Thanks again for the recommendation! EDIT: I've only seen a few bits of the US show more recently and some parts have not aged very well. I had some fond memories from when I was young which is why I had been searching for it.

As a South American I feel honored the Brits are taking a page out of my Book of Poverty and cuddling their cats in the winter.

[@OGimouse1]

I know it isn't a life-saving amount, but I actually look forward to Winter so they'll cuddle at night 😅

@@TheDanishGuyReviews I used to think we had a monopoly on that, but then I saw Boris Johnson rambling on and on about Peppa Pig Land and I thought, maybe some problems are universal...

My third thought after hearing the Queen died was, “So no more Queen impressions? What *is* “too soon” considered to be? Edit: PM Liz impressions are gonna be fun tho!!😂 that face he made when “liz was looking at beavers” had coffee shooting outta my nose I laughed so hard!

[@mlirwin8572]

I know! I already miss those! But I'm sure they'll be back ... in time.

[@B_Bodziak]

I still can't believe the UK made a man Queen. This is taking trans rights just a bit too far!

[@JamailvanWestering]

It’s sad we probably won’t get any more Queens impressions

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

I guess the silver lining will be more Charles impressions

[@ameliecarre4783]

Give it a minute, when the country gets out of its cultish transe, and irreverence is again allowed, it might be ok to do impressions of a dead monarch without being drawn and quartered for blasphemous heresy.

[@Alyss93]

Oh, I would imagine her ghost might make a few appearances at least

[@evilbetty9204]

Disappointed Ghost Queen is going to be great though.

[@jackiepollard3843]

I wonder what he'll do for the king's impression now 🤔 😏.

[@DfiantCrab]

Words couldnt describe how happy I am this show is back. One of my all time favourite comedy shows. Thanks for bringing it back Russ!

[@NoTimeForLies]

I love that we get to watch Russell Howard here in the States. He is one of my favorite comedians of all time!

[@mandipandi303]

I'm so glad the show is back. I'd forgotten how wild Playground Politics is. That child saying Trump was great because he was like Prince Philip- evil, but they put the country first- is simultaneously the funniest and the most terrifying statement.

[@gingeridot]

it's interesting what kids pick up on and remember... and sometimes even scary

[@aliciapolite5913]

They just repeat what they hear their parents say

YES, the new season, I love this series! It makes my bloody day.

[@joao_gomes]

You know the world is in a shitty situation when kids talking about politics actually makes more sense that politicians themselves.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Yeah, they actually speak in proper sentences!

Oh, Lord. I didn't realize the PM was the cheese import lady until now. I'm here for the information. 😆

[@thelittleheathenfromSweden]

Since it's only a half hour you should call it Russel Howard Showing His Semi Hour, glad to have another season, thanks for all the sillyness you bring to the world Russ!❤

Man, it's so good to see Russell Howard is back!

[@merlapittman5034]

I'm SO to see a new season start - Russell Howard is great! I think it should be an hour, and include his great guest interviews

[@vanessacee4154]

Glad to have you back! The world is much more amusing through the filter of your show. ❤

clicked on it 8 seconds after it was uploaded because i know I won't be disappointed :p

I agree. I was soo happy when I saw the new episode. I’m still watching and it’s amazing!

[@GDane-ww3uo]

So glad the show is back! Disappointed there wasn't your usual guest interview- but overall glad for a new season!!

[@gilliankew]

Me too. Maybe it will come later on in the season.

[@Dog1818YT]

@@gilliankew i think the reason why there isn't a guest interview this season is because the show is now 45 minutes(with the ads on tv) instead of an hour, and i imagine they had to cut bits down and that's the bit they cut!

[@Forbes_dufc16]

Russel Howard would be a better prime minister than the last 4 we’ve had.

[@B_Bodziak]

I'll trade you-- we'll swap the former US president for any of or even all of your last four PM!

[@jakekharbas8394]

Keep the full episodes coming, and bring the intro back!

[@byteme911]

Its called the Russell Howard HOUR, this is only 1/2 hour! You owe us more time!

[@ACMH98]

Probably full of ads when it's on TV so it probably becomes an hour then 🥲🥲🥲

Commercials

[@sisterseverus]

My thoughts too!

[@dannyreynolds2751]

As an American, I am looking forward to seeing your impersonation of HMC3. As an aside, since DJT thought he should be the guest of honor at QE2s funeral, I think everyone would gladly see him switch places with Elizabeth, or at least share a crypt. Not much would give the world more pleasure than watching his funeral. 😅

Who is HMC3?
