Jessie Thompson, Evening Standard, 8th December 2016Harry Hill to star in Radio 4 prison sitcom

British Comedy Guide, 30th November 2016This week, Harry invites an often bemused but nonetheless game Joey Essex on to his teatime show, to embrace a children's theme. The pair make savoury envelopes using popular crisp brands (an exercise that betrays Joey's unfamiliarity with the inner workings of the post office); a series of chocolate crispy Unesco world heritage sites; and a replica of Sesame Street's Elmo from sweetcorn, paint, Solvite and scotch eggs. It is, as ever, a delight.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 27th November 2016As this week's guest Deborah Meaden discovers, resisting Harry Hill's tide of daftness is futile. Tonight's surreal simulacrum of shiny-floor show hysteria incorporates a gay wedding for dogs ("a first for Sky, I believe," says Hill, dryly) and an unhinged rendition of Pulp's Disco 2000. Its closest relation is probably the finely calibrated mayhem of Shooting Stars, and while it never reaches that show's levels of inspired chaos, it's still a quirky Sunday evening offering.
