Wouldn't that be a great job though. "Can you watch ITV all day please and point out any bits that look a bit shit".

I would love that job! This show really is the master at taking the most obscure thing and getting some comedy out of it. Even a single word spoken by an actor can be turned successfully into 60 seconds of comedy on TV Burp. Impressive stuff considering some sitcoms and sketch shows use 100 times more words but dont manage a single joke in 30 minutes.

I'd sit and enjoy stuff too much to properly look at it like that. Proper telly addict.

For some strange reason, I'm not surprised.

And his crew of spotters!
He doesn't do it all himself. I wonder how many there are...?

There are about half a dozen I think. Including former 'page 3 stunner' Gayle Tuesday.

Oh wow. I'd forgotten she existed.

One of the ones with fake baps?

She was a comedy character.

Can't remember who played her...?

Brenda Gilhooly

This continues to be a masterclass in great comedy, all the more amazing for being on ITV1.

Harry Hill is a f**king ugly looking c**t. He aint funny & he is pervy looking. I would not even consider leaving my friend's boyfriend's, aunt's uncle's friends', sister's brother's aunt's, friends' mother's cat, with him.

I suppose you can't froth at the mouth about Chris Langham forever, so now you have to pick on people who look a bit weird. You might want to think about getting a job as a News of the World columnist.

Paul Hawksby (presents the afternoon show on Talk Sport with Andy Jacobs) is also part of Hill's writing team.

Just in case anybody missed the cataracts sketch.

Hilarious.

Cataracts?!

I saw Greg Proops perform at the Edinburgh Festival in about '96 and Harry Hill was there. He sat in the seat immediately behind me no doubt wanting to look at the back of a balding head that had some hair. Cool

I was amused to find that Harry Hill's skit on Vera's coffin actually garnered some complaints from people who apparently think it's tasteless to mock the funeral of a made up character.
