British Comedy Guide, 22nd January 2016Preview: Harry Hill in Professor Branestawm Returns
It is fair to say that this will be a pretty Marmite affair, dependent very much on whether you find Hill's brand of inoffensive, zany, slapstick-silliness funny, or a total turn-off.
Joshua Worth, On The Box, 24th December 2015A second outing for Harry Hill as the Steve Jobs of slapstick inventions, absent-mindedly terrorising the quaint village of Great Pagwell with his daft contraptions. Branestawm's pre-eminence is challenged by snide Professor Algebrain (Steve Pemberton), a heel-clicking Euro-rival determined to win a lucrative inventing competition bequeathed by the late Lady Pagwell. A considerable amount of buffoonery ensues. The game cast includes Vicki Pepperdine and Simon Day.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 24th December 2015Harry Hill on Professor Branestawm
Madcap comic says he is always interested in testing himself - even if it means making brave failures like presenting Stars in their Eyes and writing his X Factor musical I Can't Sing.
Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 24th December 2015Preview: Harry Hill's Professor Branestawm is back
The show is cheesy, corny but winningly charming as Charlie Higson packs his script with all the silliness he can muster.
Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 24th December 2015Radio Times review
Harry Hill returns as the multi-spectacled boffin of Norman Hunter's children's books. After Branestawm's TV introduction last Christmas, his cartoonish adventures are once again adapted by in-demand writer Charlie Higson. This time the chocolate-box village of Pagwell is, fortuitously, hosting an invention contest. But has Branestawm met his match in the ingenious Professor Algebrain (Steve Pemberton)?
Among an extraordinary cast giving fruity performances are Diana Rigg, Simon Day, Vicki Pepperdine, Matt Berry and his absurd intonations, Sophie Thompson and David Mitchell. From the clips available to RT, it's wildly eccentric, old-school and very funny - with a barking mad chase sequence.
