Warm up slots on the TV shows Jonathan Ross, Johnny Vaughan, and "They Think Its All Over" soon followed. From 1995, he made regular appearances on BBC Two's Sunday Show, which was transmitted live from Manchester.

Current career

Recent credits for Maxwell include "" as the USA correspondent interviewing the likes of Sandra Bullock, Val Kilmer, and Jodie Foster; and a regular guest slot on Dara Ó Briain's current affairs show "The Panel" now showing on Ireland's RTÉ 2.
