a) Who's Bushell?
b) Why is it no wonder that he liked Maxwell?

Garry Bushell is a British television critic, television presenter, and newspaper columnist. He most famously wrote for The Sun before leaving in 2001 as a result of a dispute whereby Bushell let the rival tabloid newspaper The Daily Star serialize his book.
He began his career in the late 1970s, writing for the the left wing newspaper Socialist Worker, then music magazine Sounds in the early 1980s, covering the punk genre. Bushell's website claims that he started the Oi! movement. This was described by Joe Pearce, the then YNF organiser, as "the musical wing of the National Front". [1] However, many Oi! bands were unequivocal in their rejection of racism and far-right politics.
He moved to Fleet Street in 1985 working for The Sun, and was promoted to writing for its "Bizarre" column as showbusiness editor. He was also assistant editor of The Daily Star.
In the mid-1990s he hosted a programme called Bushell On The Box, the same title as the column that he wrote for The Sun, analysing and criticizing that week's television programmes. A regular feature of the column was Garry's Goofs, in which he highlighted an unintended double entendre within that week's programmes. In 2002 he published King of Telly: The Best of Bushell on the Box containing the highlights of his column.
