Harry Hill's Tea Time moves to tea time slot

The comedy cookery show featuring celebrity guests will now be broadcast on Saturdays at 17:30.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th January 2018

Time to vigorously Vim down that lino as Harry Hill coaxes another famous face towards his comedy kitchenette. Donning the celebrity sous chef apron tonight is EastEnders star Jessie Wallace, who will be joining Harry in a menu encompassing senseless starters and demented desserts, including a tribute to La La Land. It remains to be seen whether the series has already peaked now that Gregg Wallace has met his ovoid alter ego, Egg Wallace.

Harry Hill reveals feud with Jamie Oliver

Harry Hill revealed he's made an enemy of Jamie Oliver in that the celebrity chef lacked a sense of humour over one of his shows.

Katie Baillie, Metro, 5th January 2018

The series spoofing cookery shows returns with the "first knight of news", Sir Trevor McDonald, taking his turn. It's a prelude to host Harry Hill asking McDonald to do silly things and the former news anchor gamely obliging, showing how he can disappear ("I mustn't misuse these magic powers"), singing and discussing the merits of the coffee machine-inspired Sospresso. The lightest of comedies imaginable, but no less fun for that.

The QI boxsets: a second pedantic look

In May 2017, I wrote a piece for On The Box about the first two QI boxsets, covering the first seven series. As I had heard from the show's researchers, the QI elves, that I was mentioned in these boxsets for my pedantry, I decided to cover them in a pedantic way. I have now done the same with the two most recent collections, covering Series H-J and Series K-M respectively.
