It took me years to appreciate the subtle genius of John Shuttleworth – otherwise known as Graham Fellows – but catching some of his work a few months ago (500 Bus Stops) it became obvious what a distinct influence he has had on British Comedy over the last 30 odd years.

So it’s good to see him back on the air this week, with a BBC 7 rerun of John Shuttleworth’s Open Mind. 

So get tuned in an appreciate the work of a man who brought us Jilted John and the kind of single-minded determination and belief that makes up the entertaining audition stages of The X Factor.
