Revolution Will Be Televised gets third series

A tight 5: April 28

PRANK show The Revolution Will Be Televised is to return for a third series on BBC Three. Star Jolyon Rubinstein confirmed the commission in an interview with the Radio Times, saying: ‘Yeah, there's a third series of The Revolution Will Be Televised coming... so, David Cameron, watch it!’

MATT KING – best known for playing Superhans in Peep Show – has pulled the UK tour that marked his return to stand-up after a decade away. He had announced 20 dates starting in June, but his publicist said the tour ‘has been postponed due to filming commitments in Australia’ adding that the dates will be rescheduled.

CHRIS LILLEY has been named most popular actor at Australia’s biggest TV awards, the Logies, for his follow-up comedy to Summer Height High, Ja’mie: Private School Girl.

YET another Ukip candidate has exposed himself as a racist, after telling Lenny Henry he should leave Britain. After the comedian spoke about waning to see more ethic people on TV, William Henwood, who is standing Enfield, North London, tweeted: ‘He should emigrate to a black country. He does not have to live with whites.’ Ukip said it was ‘non-racist’ and claimed that exposing its members’ views to the contrary amounted to a ‘smear campaign’ by rivals.

HAVE I Got News For You attracted 4.48 million viewers to BBC One on Friday night, making it the most watched show outside of the soaps for the fourth week running.
