Russell will be at Kapow! comic convention on Sunday 20th May. Heres some more details…

Russell Tovey (Being Human, Sherlock) along with acclaimed Doctor Who scriptwriter (“Rise Of The Cybermen”, “The Age Of Steel”, “The Girl Who Waited”) and writer/creator of hit Comedy Central sitcom Threesome Tom MacRae will be at Kapow! on Sunday 20th May to talk about the relationship between writing sci-fi drama and television comedy by asking the question: how much is creating a joke like constructing a high concept narrative?

Joining them on the panel will be stars of the sitcom Adam Garcia (Threesome, House), actress and comedy writer Lucy Brown (Primeval) and comedian Tom Allen.

Will anyone be attending?

ITV has given the green light to a new Russell Tovey sitcom set in an unemployment office.

The broadcaster has ordered six hour-long episodes of The Job Lot – making it the first mainstream comedy it has commissioned since Benidorm in 2007.

ITV1 has vowed to make a ‘big splash’ in comedy, after several fallow years, and also today announced a post-watershed comedy provisionally called Great Night Out.

The Job Lot is being made by Big Talk Productions, whose credits include Rev and Him & Her, which also starred Tovey. It also made the stand-up talent hunt Show Me The Funny for ITV last year.

Heres an article about the Terrence Higgins Trust auction that Russell attended the other day. One lady paid £5,000 for a date with him!

Openly-gay actor Russell Tovey proved a hit with the ladies on Monday night, when artist Tracey Emin and a friend paid £5,000 for a date with him.

The date was one of the lots on offer at the Lighthouse Gala Auction at Christie’s in aid of HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust.

The event, sponsored by Prudential plc, saw fierce competition for a range of money-can’t-buy lots. A black cab tour of London with Ken Livingstone went for £1,600, while two supporting artiste roles in the next series of Downton Abbey were snapped up for £4,800.

In total the evening raised over £260,000 for THT, with every penny raised going towards services for people living with HIV.

Im sure many of you will already know this but for some that may not. Being Human has been re-newed for a 4th series!

SUPERNATURAL hit Being Human is to return next year for a fourth series.
The spooky BBC3 favourite was recommissioned after last Sunday’s finale drew 1.1million viewers.
The series, starring Russell Tovey, Aidan Turner and Lenora Crichlow, follows the lives of a vampire, two werewolves and a ghost.
And it has inspired an internet spin-off, Becoming Human.
Executive producer Toby Whithouse said: “We were overwhelmed by the response to series three.
“We’re absolutely thrilled the BBC has given us this opportunity to continue our show into a fourth year.
“We’ve got another intense and epic story lined up, with some new faces and old – and even more horror and mayhem and mugs of tea. I can’t wait to get started.” Series four will feature eight episodes of 60 minutes.
