Al Murray

If Tasmin Archer badger, Stouffer the cat and Burt Kwouk as a chicken catcher raise a misty-eyed smile, then you were probably a fan of The Harry Hill Show sketch series that ran from 1997 to 1999 before high-collared Hill - and cohort Al Murray - became megastars. In honour of C4's 30th birthday the cast offer up mockumentary-style 'reminiscences' between clips as they contemplate a reunion.

Audio: Al Murray on the effect his show has on others

Al Murray features in his first new stand-up show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival since 1999.

The comedian, known for his Happy Hour and Pub Landlord shows, returns to the stage with new material.

He told 5 Live's Richard Bacon what it was like to be back and how one of his shows 'broke a couple up'.

Audio: Alfie Moore - stand-up comedy is like policing

Policeman-turned-stand-up comedian Alfie Moore told 5 Live's Richard Bacon that in some ways 'stand-up is similar to police work'.

Mr Moore has returned to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his show I Predicted A Riot.

Alongside comedian Al Murray, he revealed the best ways to create a connection with the audience- be they in a theatre or on the street.

After a decade spent courting the "cosy Saturday night family viewing' demographic with his enjoyable TV Burp, Harry Hill returns to the somewhat more anarchic climes of Channel 4, home of his rumbustious series back in the day. This one-off Behind The Music-style mockumentary has Harry attempting to reunite the gang - Burt Kwouk, Brother Alan (Al Murray stepping away from his tired Pub Landlord character) and, of course, the badger parade - for one last performance, but finding that he wasn't as well-liked as he assumed.

As part of its Funny Fortnight, Harry Hill returns to the network that launched him. The big-collared comedian writes and stars in this spoof documentary in which he attempts to reunite the stars of his self-titled 1997-99 Channel 4 sketch show. But it all goes wrong when he discovers how his ex-castmates Burt Kwouk and Al Murray really felt about him back then. It's a delight to see Hill, freed from the constraints of TV Burp, spread his comedy wings again.

Al Murray is loving being at this year's Fringe

The 44-year-old behind the comedy character The Pub Landlord even thinks First Minister Alex Salmond would have hated Scots doing well at the recent London Olympics.
