Harry

The original pilot episode of Harry Hill's TV Burp.

The comic takes an irreverent look at festive television offerings, sorting the telly treats from the turkeys. What will he make of the goings-on in Emmerdale and Pauline Fowler's exit from Albert Square? Also likely to come under scrutiny are seasonal editions of Coronation Street and Doc Martin, and the finale of The Vicar of Dibley

There are some of us who would like to see Harry Hill's TV Burp, ITV's highest-rated comedy show, on every week, or even four times a week like Coronation Street. It's an essential dose of daft humour and a valuable corrective to an awful lot of TV tosh. And this festive edition is like taking an indigestion remedy after too much turkey and pud. As the show is written and recorded so close to transmission, we can't say at whom Harry will be poking fun. But it's a safe bet he'll meander through the soap storylines and pick the sillier bits from the finals of Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor.

Harry returns from a month's leave, with provisional clearance from the shrink to return to duties.

The police start arresting people based on Lua's evidence. Mele skips school.

Harry attempts to face his demons. Spud is given an ultimatum. Chocka steps up his game.

In the opener to Series 2, Harry pokes fun at TV shows such as the recent Henry VIII drama with Ray Winstone, Auction Man and soaps such as Coronation Street (Todd's gay kiss with Nick Tilsley) and Emmerdale (Zak's return and Terry's stroke). Also includes a visit to Coronation Street, a fight between illusionists David Blaine and Derren Brown and all the usual mayhem.

In this week's edition of TV Burp, Harry jokes about people shouting in the soaps, Pop Idol judge Neil Fox using the word ‘tad' all the time, Holiday Showdown and the mysterious pop band in Heartbeat: the Trinks. Not The Troggs or The Kinks, The Trinks. Other musical madness revolves around the video to Britney Spears and Madonna's single ‘Me Against the Music'. From Hunting Chris Ryan, Harry does his own celebrity version: Hunting Frank Carson. Also includes Harry taking the mess out of Sgt. Sheelagh Murphy's (played by Bernie Nolan) husband from The Bill who never blinks but she does, a fight between Pop Idol judges Neil Fox and Simon Cowell, a look at Harry's fireworks and all the usual antics.

In this edition of TV Burp, Celebrity Wife Swap (Jade Goody and Charles Ingram special), Casualty, Holby City, Holiday Airport Cyprus (where the misfortunes of a Russian couple get on Harry's nerves), Emmerdale, Pop Idol, new BBC 3 soap drama Burn It (where nothing happens), Celebrity Dog School and many other programmes are in the spotlight this week. Harry comments that he's getting tired of programmes like Superstars, so he invents his own show: Superstars Revisited. Also features Harry comparing the likes of Howard Donald (from Take That) to a young Kevin Keegan, Shadrach Dingle (from Emmerdale) to the Lion from The Wizard of Oz, a fight between the Ingrams (Charles and Diane) and the Hamiltons (Neil and Christine), various comic sketches with Pop Idol judges Neil Fox and Simon Cowell and all the usual tomfoolery.

In the first episode of series 3, EastEnders, Back to Reality, Gender Swap, Footballers' Wives (Chardonnay's funeral), Coronation Street (the baby Patience scenario), Dirty Laundry, Safe As Houses and Faking It come under scrutiny. Now that we know The Bill's Reg Hollis is a Tears For Fears fan, Harry shows us a preview of what will happen in the police drama next week: Reg Hollis singing songs by the band while on duty arresting criminals. Also includes ""I'm an Insect: Get Me Out of Here!"", a take on ""I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here"" set in Jordan's stomach, a search to find a replacement for Robert Kilroy-Silk (including one where Harry dressed as Coronation Street's Blanche Hunt wearing a dodgy looking wig and big goggly eyes comes on saying ""He's a loony and she's a man?"" referring to Roy and Hayley Cropper), a fight between Davina McCall and Cilla Black now that Love on a Saturday Night has replaced Blind Date and all the usual things.

Other things include Shannon's nose job in Footballers' Wives, Robert Vaughn's appearance in BBC 1 drama Hustle, a Hood (the villain from Thunderbirds) look-alike in The Carrot or the Stick and ‘Extra of the Week' about an often seen extra in The Woolpack in Emmerdale. Harry also discusses other extras in the soaps. Plus there's Eastbourne Uncovered (a feature on the over 60s answer to Ibiza), ‘At Home With Peter Andre and Jordan' showing us what they're getting up to, a fight between Coronation Street's Hayley Cropper and Miriam (off There's Something About Miriam) to see who's the better transsexual and all the regular things.

Other things include ‘There's Something About Jesus' (a spoof-take on There's Something About Miriam), a fight between Peter Jackson and Mel Gibson to see who's the better film director, various comic sketches with Jeremy Clarkson and Quentin Willson and all the usual madness.

In the first episode of the fourth series, gags revolve around a shortsighted sniper in Spooks, a Cilla Black look-alike in Emmerdale to a Robert Kilroy-Silk look-alike in Holby City, Coronation Street, Holiday Showdown, The Bill, Jennie Bond's Royals, Trains With Pete Waterman and others. Plus there's a fight between Jennie Bond and Pete Waterman and all the usual chaos.

Shows that fall victim to Harry's scrutiny this time include The Bill, Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Beyond River Cottage and Foyle's War. From Fooling Hitler, Harry creates his own version of You've Been Framed showing clips of Adolf Hitler's comrades playing tricks on the Fuhrer. Harry noticed two peculiar nurses in Casualty: a short, blonde haired nurse dressed in pink who is constantly seen walking up and down the wards and then a tall, blonde haired nurse, also dressed in pink who is constantly seen walking across the wards widthways. Plus, we get a fight between these two nurses and all the regular chaos.

Gags include Mike Reid on Age Swap, Holiday Showdown, tea in EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and The Bill. As well as this we have a sketch on the bad side of meerkats, a fight between a shark and a toaster and all the usual craziness.
