I have still never watched Russell Howards Good News, is it worth it?
Well, if you like his style of humour and think you can stand it for a full 30 minutes, then yes.
I quite enjoy it but I'd say it's an acquired taste. Much the same as how I can't stand Ricky Gervais, but it doesn't seem to have dented his wider popularity, your mileage might vary.
It seems that his target audience is in the regions of late teens (students) to late twenties (basically his own age), which is more noticeable if you look at the audience themselves. I'm not saying that if you're outside that bracket you wont find anything funny, it's just that I find it hilarious whereas the one time my dad watched it he missed half of the jokes. But yeah, tahrey is right, acquired taste. It can be a source of knowledge, though. How else would I have known about that guy who made a dildo bomb? :p
Eh, I've known my mother (mid 50s) to sit through it or even (bizarrely) put it on out of choice, so it must have some greater cross-demographic appeal.
That or she just thinks he's geeky-cute.

As unfair as it is... the bbc employs people based purely on who they know

Nepotism should be made illegal

The BBC is the best big brand news source out there. They are mostly fair though occasionally minority restricted due to their government roots. The Programs are at the highest tier especially BBC documentaries so I give them the massive thumb of approval.
