I take your point. I just thought there was a bit too much dashing about this week, and not enough commentig on telly programmes.

The show is evolving. Maybe Harry feels he can't keep on just making fun of everyone else.
I kind of wonder if this week's episode was hinting that 'Harry' and the TV Burp team aren't the biggest fans of the K Factor bits themselves. Maybe some exec ordered them to do it as a follow up the previous competition? I'm actually half convinced that the running joke about the duck character is a brilliant bit of satire on how such reality shows can manufacture the winner they want by tugging at the audience's heart strings with consistent focus.
In terms of the show itself- he's made it known that he'd end it if he wasn't under contract, so I wonder if he's just riding it out now as best he can. There are definetly moments when it goes too far into being just plain sillyness (some of the audience seem to be tripping over themselves when it comes to the 'FIGHT!' bits) which is a shame because when he's on form Harry Hill can deliver comedy which is crazy and silly but also quite clever. The average TV Burp audience seems to be limiting him and his co-writers to really juvenile stuff.
Well apparently Harry Hill has signed a new 2 year deal with ITV reported to be earning him 5 million so I assume Harry will continue doing TV burp for at least 2 more years.
I hope so anyway as I still think it's hilarious.

He's doing some repeats apparently.

A good show to end the series. The 'realistic' tiger roaring was particularly LOLable.
Hearing the money he's just secured for himself, Matthew's done pretty well for a St George's boy.

Agreed. I shall miss it whilst it's gone.

I really liked the K Factor bits 
haha! Not many people I know did, though.

It was better within the context of the documentary.

???
His real name is Matthew. He trained as a Doctor at St. George's, Tooting.
Is that all doctors think about then, money? Maybe now Hill should be asked to pay back his entire training costs, to enable someone who really wants to be a doctor to become one.

Hear hear! And while we're at it, all the people who train as teachers. Or do geography degrees. Or do a subsidised evening class! Curse the lot of 'em!
