Yesterday was our last day in the studio recording show number seven ready for Thursday. It was a bit weird filming for the last time this series (the past seven weeks have gone so fast!) but the show is looking great so you have a lot to look forward to! Also, just a reminder that next week's show is going to be an extra special version featuring some of the best bits from this series with tons of unseen material and it's an hour long!
As a bit of a sneak peak at this week's show this is Russell looking at some of the stories you have sent in from the past seven days.

Yeah a story I found whilst brousing the web at school. Some one placed a fake sign, promoting a "Official Dogging Site" Here's the link it's on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ news page.
Last nights show was amazing! Congrats on finishing the series, Russ did seem like he just wanted to get to the pub by the end of it all... Also thanks to all the team for being amazing and helping me out with being on crutches and all! Looking forward to seeing it all sparkly and editted tomorrow night! (By editted i mean you taking out some of the most FUNNY things i've heard Russ say, but those pesky rules means they can't be said on the telly box...)
i found this and thought it was hilarious!!! i think russell was wrong, THIS is the strangest book title XD [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator]

The wife of a US Army soldier, Jennifer Stweart, claims she got pregnant by watching a 3D adult film while visiting friends in New York. 38-year-old Jennifer Stweart used the bizarre claims to explain to her husband why their child was black, despite the lovers being very much white skinned.

The major of the capital of Iceland, is famous Icelandic comedian Jon Gnarr, who started a political party know as the best party, as a joke and then won. He needed a coalition but refused to accept any party who's members hadn't seen every episode of T.V. show, "the wire". He then appeared at the Icelandic gay pride parade in drag saying that the major could not be with them. Here are a few videos and links about it:
Hi I have a good news story which has not been in the media
I have just taken two groups of teenagers sailing for a week they have gained their competant crew certificate, learnt to sail, cook clean, did not play video games or watch telly for a week and they had an amazing time. We hired two ships from the cirdan sailing trust while a colleague of ours also hired a ship from the Tall ships trust for yet another group and between us we made October half term a time to remember for a great bunch of young people.

Here in the suburb of Horsforth got a newspaper through the door saying that councillors were overjoyed at the prospect of having a boulder returned from nearby Kirkstal after forty years! Never said why they had the boulder in the first place, just have to remind myself never to lend Kirkstal anything!

Helloo Again! You should totally have this girl on your show. She's the first English Female to ever win a medal at weightlifting, in the commonwelth games. She lifted 106kg and won Britain a bronze medal. AND SHE IS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD!!!!!!! :D
Child's i Foundation is a transitional children's home in Kampala, Uganda. It was the brainchild of Lucy Buck. Once a successful television producer who gave her life up to help babies and families in need.
Joey was the first success story from Child's i. Joey was abandoned in a public taxi park when he was just four weeks old. Before the Baby Abandonment Project, Joey would doubtless have spent his life in an institution. Instead, after just six weeks, Desire and George, a wonderful Ugandan couple, adopted him. After his terrible start, he was finally cherished by a loving family and had a wonderful future ahead of him.
Then disaster struck. They found out that Joey was suffering from critical stenosis of his pulmonary artery – and it was only a matter of time before he would suffer cardiac failure. Joey was already a true miracle baby – it was found that since his birth, Joey’s heart has been relying solely on the temporary structures that are necessary for babies in the womb. These should have closed up within days of his birth, but they somehow remained open, and were currently the only things keeping him alive.
An appeal was launched on Just Giving, in hope of going some way to raising the £10,000 needed to send Joey for life-saving care. Then another miracle happened – the Child's i Foundation network raised the entire amount in just 38 hours.
Thanks to the supporters of Child's i Foundation and the generous network of people behind it, Joey was sent off to South Africa for life-saving surgery. His heart operation went really well, and he is now back home and gurgling away to his heart’s content.
I have an inspirational story to recomend for the next show my parents fostered me since i was about 2 months old and since i have been with my adoptive parnts theyhave been there through thick and thin i have so much to thank them for
"CLEVER KILLER": ´óÏó´«Ã½ Look East news - Friday, 05.NOV.10 - live bulletin after 10pm news - blond newsreader definitely says about a man being found hanging before he killed someone???
Omg russel You should do this as your good news story. I found it on youtube it would really make a diffrence to this girl. As soon as possable because shes got 3 weeks to live. [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator]
Story about a teenager in Austria who 'burns his bum' because of a Halloween prank that went wrong. Even funnier, underneath the photo, the caption reads: 'NOT IDEAL for fie-based Halloween pranks.' Suggesting people actually didn't know this!
Hiya, got a suggestion for your heartwarming story bit at the end.
My friend, Ben, was riding his bike last week when he lost control, hot a wall and fell the 20ft drop the other side. He ended up in sedated in hospital with head injuries and a broken spine. He has his operation today and they're looking to wake him up tomorrow.
His family and friends created a Facebook page for him called Get Well Soon Ben Foulds, and I think it's lovely to see the amount of support he and his family are receiving.
the storey about a man who burnt 70% of his body and being in a coma for 3 months and coming out looking really differant his wife kids and rest of the family stayed with him... i dont know the link but you can find the video on a news website :) its should be on because its inspreational
I found a story in the daily mail called "the lunchbox police who snoop on pupils" as the title and also says "OFSTEAD inspectors are snooping in cildrens lunchboxes and marking down if the find crisps and chocolate" i dont know what a ofstead inspector is and thought it was pretty funny
During the elections of this year, I was in a media class and we were given a task to make an obviously fake documentary, we chose paranormal activities. We didn’t realise that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ were interviewing the Guildford MP’s at the college, so by accident, we kind of interrupted/ruined their filming and it ended up on the news…. Basically what happened was, one student was pretending to be an alien doing this by waving his arms around as if the were tentacles chasing another student who bless him, was rather chubby, and they managed to do this all in the background of one of the MPs being interviewed. The head of the college told off my tutor at the time. Something along the lines of ‘your beeping students were on the news last night!!’
It was great fun to film it and we couldnt stop laughing, when we found out it had been in the background of an interviewing we loved it even more, gutted though cause we didnt get to see it on the news. I think you would find the video funny and was just wondering if you could find this clip with your powers of finding brillantness. please find it. ^_^ x x x
I have the BEST Good News story. Completely right for the show.
Last week, I picked up a copy of the Metro, which is a free paper in Nottingham. It always has the usual stuff in, but then it had this story in. I went on the internet to find the details.
Headline: CRICKET EARNS THE LARGEST TESTICLE TITLE
I got shown this at the end of my Carpentry lesson...Had nothing to do with carpentry what so ever!! Its about cutting down your carbon footprints and what not. Please check this out its unbelievably funny!!

This is a link to my uncles website. Cyclists fighting cancer, he himself has experienced cancer twice and beaten then after these ordeals has completed the tour d France and many other tests of strength to raise funds to make specially adapted bike for children suffering with cancer and other diseases. My uncles name is Mike Grisenthwaite and I thought this would be really suitable for its not all doom and gloom thanks. His story can be found on the videos and the photos of the children enjoying themselves sometimes for the first time of their lives will warm anyones heart.
A man called Matt Harding left a life of boredom and mundanity in America to see just how beautiful the world is. He didn't want to be one of the huge proportion of Americans who never saw the world outside the USA. During his travels he discovered that, although there were language barriers, he could connect with the amazing people he met by dancing. What started as a jokey jig for the camera became a trademark for Matt, and all over the world people joined him. In a very simple and heartwarming way, he has connected the world in our very human desire to have fun. There are several videos of his movies and every one of them is beautiful. He has been to some of the most awe inspiring places on earth. This is a link to his youtube page, which contains his series of videos, called 'Where the hell is Matt?' Any one of them can bring a tear to the eye! I really think one would be a perfect end to one of the shows this series
Hey Russell :) It's jade from southend. My mum was recently on the news and on the radio for being 1 of 4 women to become a chimney sweep :) she was in the Dailey star, the echo and ´óÏó´«Ã½ London radio. She didn't want me to write this but she has had such a hard time in the past that he deserves it. My mums (Tracey lynch) is a super nice mum and has an amazing cv. My mum was also the 1st women wing walker to participate in the airshow. She then gave up trying to find a normal job and came to raise we three children me and my brothers who are twins :0 lol. She has signed on and hated it, going collect money every two weeks. She read an article about a similar woman who done this and it inspired her. Now she is a qualified chimney sweep and she is just startin out. I am soo proud of her and I love her to pieces. Well done mum!! X
My friend showed me this story. It's about how Spain is encouraging people to vote, as it causes 'pleasure'. The advert shows a woman having an orgasm as she votes. Pretty weird, but worth a laugh. /news/world-europe-11795407

Saw this on truelad.com (I know I'm a girl but it's awesome so I don't care) and I thought I had to share it on here.- 'My flat mate is a top guy despite working a dead end job and always struggling for money, he puts his all into everything he does and is the most honest person I know. One day he receives a letter saying he has inherited £1.5 million from his late father. Without fluttering an eyelid he picks up the phone and donates it all to NSPCC. He later informs us that his old man used to beat him and his younger sisters, and he can go f (sic) himself and his filthy money. MoralchildsavingRobinHoodLAD' xxx
Would a good news story about mental illness be of interest to you Russell? I don't really like blowing my own bassoon, but here goes.
In brief, I've survived five break-downs, the first being a suicide attempt, and in 1995 I was diagnosed with a type II bipolar disorder. I lost everything I had to my illness, including my home.
However, my life change after I joined a user-run editorial team in Hornsey. I was encouraged to write my first book, and in 2007 it was pubished. I've remained 'well' for the last eight years in a row, and it's all due to picking up the pen. Ironically, now I am writing observational comedy, as it's where my writing strength has always been. (Please see the blog on my website) My hope is to reduce the stigma that's still attached to mental health issues, by employing cutting edge humour.
I'll leave my website link and perhaps, if you have time, you can contact me. www.bipolar-expedition.co.uk
hay just thought i'd give you an idea for your good news section. I'm part of a group known as MBEET (Moston Brook Environmental Events Team) we organise events to hopefully educate people in different things to do with the environment, it's a group of volunteers working together to organise events every month. I think it's good that we do this and think that it's worth a mention :) Cheers
Dove has mad an video to promote beauty, its goes through the process of how they make an average looking women into a model within minutes (sped forwards).
If your looking for something with a bit more humour though, you might want to watch this video below instead. Dove has made a parody of the previous video link I've posted, but they use a guy model and turn him into a slob, haha. Basically it's in reverse order :)
Who needs stories when you can read through some of the posts. What is your facorite animal? Fantastic. I get that C is next to V but it still made me laugh. Just got sent this story about a dog that saves another dog that got hit on the freeway (or motorway as you guys call it). Check it out:
Theres a lady I work with called Chistine Guntrip, She was on This Morning as she is a Michael Jackson Impersonator. I found her link on youtube and thought maybe other people would find it as funny/gringing as everybody I work with does. Here it is
Most people on a gap year are content with just seeing the world. And not to try and change it. But on her return, Maggie decided to start a home in Nepal with the aim to sustain and improve the quality of life for children of Nepal. Her next big goal is to to build a school for the children.
She has since started her foundation called BlinkNow Foundation to share her ideas with other young people. Maggie won The prestigious Do Something award in America for all that she has done so far.
I believe this woman is a true inspiration. Not only for what she has been through herself and coming out of it as a kind human being. But for what she has been able to achieve and how she is now trying to help others so they don't go through what she did.

Child's i Foundation is a transitional children's home in Kampala, Uganda. It was the brainchild of Lucy Buck. Once a successful television producer who gave her life up to help babies and families in need.
Joey was the first success story from Child's i.
Joey was abandoned in a public taxi park when he was just four weeks old. Before the Baby Abandonment Project, Joey would doubtless have spent his life in an institution. Instead, after just six weeks, Desire and George, a wonderful Ugandan couple, adopted him. After his terrible start, he was finally cherished by a loving family and had a wonderful future ahead of him.
Then disaster struck. They found out that Joey was suffering from critical stenosis of his pulmonary artery – and it was only a matter of time before he would suffer cardiac failure. Joey was already a true miracle baby – it was found that since his birth, Joey’s heart has been relying solely on the temporary structures that are necessary for babies in the womb. These should have closed up within days of his birth, but they somehow remained open, and were currently the only things keeping him alive.
An appeal was launched on Just Giving, in hope of going some way to raising the £10,000 needed to send Joey for life-saving care. Then another miracle happened – the Child's i Foundation network raised the entire amount in just 38 hours.
Thanks to the supporters of Child's i Foundation and the generous network of people behind it, Joey was sent off to South Africa for life-saving surgery. His heart operation went really well, and he is now back home and gurgling away to his heart’s content.
Here is a link to the website -

His family and friends created a Facebook page for him called Get Well Soon Ben Foulds, and I think it's lovely to see the amount of support he and his family are receiving.

During the elections of this year, I was in a media class and we were given a task to make an obviously fake documentary, we chose paranormal activities. We didn’t realise that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ were interviewing the Guildford MP’s at the college, so by accident, we kind of interrupted/ruined their filming and it ended up on the news…. Basically what happened was, one student was pretending to be an alien doing this by waving his arms around as if the were tentacles chasing another student who bless him, was rather chubby, and they managed to do this all in the background of one of the MPs being interviewed. The head of the college told off my tutor at the time. Something along the lines of ‘your beeping students were on the news last night!!’
It was great fun to film it and we couldnt stop laughing, when we found out it had been in the background of an interviewing we loved it even more, gutted though cause we didnt get to see it on the news. I think you would find the video funny and was just wondering if you could find this clip with your powers of finding brillantness. please find it. ^_^

What started as a jokey jig for the camera became a trademark for Matt, and all over the world people joined him. In a very simple and heartwarming way, he has connected the world in our very human desire to have fun. There are several videos of his movies and every one of them is beautiful.

In brief, I've survived five break-downs, the first being a suicide attempt, and in 1995 I was diagnosed with a type II bipolar disorder. I lost everything I had to my illness, including my home.
However, my life change after I joined a user-run editorial team in Hornsey. I was encouraged to write my first book, and in 2007 it was pubished. I've remained 'well' for the last eight years in a row, and it's all due to picking up the pen. Ironically, now I am writing observational comedy, as it's where my writing strength has always been. (Please see the blog on my website) My hope is to reduce the stigma that's still attached to mental health issues, by employing cutting edge humour.
I'll leave my website link and perhaps, if you have time, you can contact me. www.bipolar-expedition.co.uk
