After a decade spent courting the "cosy Saturday night family viewing' demographic with his enjoyable TV Burp, Harry Hill returns to the somewhat more anarchic climes of Channel 4, home of his rumbustious series back in the day. This one-off Behind The Music-style mockumentary has Harry attempting to reunite the gang - Burt Kwouk, Brother Alan (Al Murray stepping away from his tired Pub Landlord character) and, of course, the badger parade - for one last performance, but finding that he wasn't as well-liked as he assumed.
Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 22nd August 2012As part of its Funny Fortnight, Harry Hill returns to the network that launched him. The big-collared comedian writes and stars in this spoof documentary in which he attempts to reunite the stars of his self-titled 1997-99 Channel 4 sketch show. But it all goes wrong when he discovers how his ex-castmates Burt Kwouk and Al Murray really felt about him back then. It's a delight to see Hill, freed from the constraints of TV Burp, spread his comedy wings again.
