Harry Enfield

So much comedy water has passed under the TV bridge since Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse first did sketch shows together that when they reunited last year it seemed a rather retrograde step. Whitehouse had done funnier, subtler shows in between and with Mitchell and Webb and Armstrong and Miller on the scene, the market for male double acts is decidedly cluttered.

But they are back for a second series with old favourites such as the judgmental Polish café assistants and Enfield's badly behaved Nelson Mandela, and new sketches, including a Dragons' Den spoof and two elderly Jewish DJs. It should be at least as popular as the first.

Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are comedy legends but their last outing was hit and miss.

Bloody hell, it has been recommissioned! Amazing, really, considering how staggeringly painful Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse's first series was.

Quality control has been cranked up a notch but I should warn you, Nelson Mandela is back.

Best reason to watch is a brilliant take on Dragons' Den. Harry is Deborah Meaden but the moment when Paul's Duncan Bannatyne leans forward to sneer at Harry's Peter Jones makes this worth investing in.

It may not have the inspired characters of their earlier collaborations, but Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse's latest sketch show still has its inspired moments.

Comedy couple back on fast track

The world of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse is possibly the only place you'll find a pair of elderly Jewish gentlemen presenting a rap radio show for Radio 3.
