In a new series billed as "madcap", Harry Hill watches over two teams who have to prove how funny humans are. Yes, really. Kelvin Fletcher, Sara Pascoe, Patrick Robinson and Josh Widdicombe must choose clips to go into a capsule that can be unleashed in the event of an alien invasion. By Hill's own admission it is "an idea that's thinner than Kim Kardashian's nightie", but he holds things together with aplomb.

British Comedy Guide, 31st January 201710 facts about the Leicester Comedy Festival
10 facts from its founder Geoff Rowe....
Geoff Rowe, Chortle, 26th January 2017On Radio 4, Harry Hill is back with Life on Egg, a joke-packed comedy about a prison in the middle of the sea. This was properly funny: I found myself giggling out loud as I jogged around the park; not a usual circumstance. Every line was a winner and Hill and his compadres deliver them with vim. I especially liked the jail's janitor. I was about to sign up for the podcast feed, but then saw that Life on Egg is only going to be two episodes of 15 minutes. Boo. Come on, Radio 4, do the right thing. More silly, funny stuff to take our minds off Trumpageddon. Please.
