Following the wildly successful TV Burp, pickings have been slim for Harry, with his film, X Factor musical and Stars In Their Eyes reboot all failing to find favour. Now he's back in familiar territory, desk and studio audience in tow, black-rimmed sights set on the world of cookery programmes. A sub-genre TV Burp might seem unappetising, but given the mileage Hill was able to wring from Freaky Eaters, this could well be worth tasting. Paul Hollywood is his first guest.

Harry Hill's new series is definitely not a TV Burp clone, but to this fan who mourned the passing of his ITV1 clipfest it does feel like the nearest thing you'll see in both spirit and execution. And judging by the first episode it could evolve to be just as funny.
