Log on watch this: Harry Hill's Little Internet Show

Our column takes you straight to the web's top videos. Today: Charlie de Rivaz on the internet-only release of the new comedy programme Harry Hill's Little Internet Show.

Harry Hill takes his comedy online

Harry Hill's Little Internet Show will be shown on AOL. And the internet is where top talent should be establishing a toehold.

The way Harry Hill has journeyed from cult stand-up surrealist to primetime fixture has been one of television's most merited and heart-warming rises. Tonight he's back for a 10th run of his four-time Bafta-winning, waspishly witty TV round-ups. With shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor and The Apprentice in full swing, as well as the usual soaps, dramas and documentaries to skewer, pickings should prove rich.

Harry Hill: 'I wanted to quit TV Burp'

Comedian Harry Hill has admitted that he wanted to quit his satirical clip show TV Burp last year.

Smiths Marr 'blocks Harry Hill parody'

The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has reportedly blocked Harry Hill from releasing a medley of the band's tracks.

Gayle Tuesday makes a welcome return to the screen in Gayle Tuesday: The Comeback. Oh come on, you remember Gayle, the page three stunna and uber-bimbo who graced TV screens back in the nineties?

It was Gayle who memorably introduced the phrase "Oi, tits first! I'm not a slag", to British television.

A decade on we find Gayle, the comic creation of actress Brenda Gilhooly, in denial of middle age and intent upon a return to the world of celebrity.

It is all highly enjoyable and consistently funny, but at an hour in length each episode rather over stretches itself.

Toyah Willcox, Paul O'Grady, Ainsley Harriott, Harry Hill and Heston Blumenthal are among the famous faces sending themselves up, with Toyah winning the acting honours.

Al Murray's first gig - introducing Harry Hill in 1994

To mark Al Murray's big London show next week at Hammersmith Apollo, his new book out and a DVD, the real Al Murray spoke to London is Funny about his Pub Landlord character's debut outing (never confused).

The inanities of the world of the minor celebrity are nicely skewered in this spiky mockumentary starring Brenda Gilhooly as the busty Gayle Tuesday, a former Page 3 girl desperate to break into TV. There's a tragic kind of humour to the dim and deluded Tuesday as she attempts to get noticed once again - and for more than the obvious reason. She lies her way to an appearance on an afternoon reality cookery show with Ainsley Harriott, then she blags an audition with Elle Macpherson on Britain's Next Top Model. The script is by Gilhooly and Harry Hill.

Occasionally brilliant attempt at a comeback from Brenda Gilhooly's comedy character. There's been a lot done about the desperation of the minor celeb, since even before Extras, but that doesn't detract from some cracking set pieces: the brutal 'public appearance' in a shopping centre - "I used to be on the telly a lot in the 90s. I was a topless model. Would you like a picture? No? Oh."; the reality cooking show with potato carving competition where the competitors are given a picture each of the Pope, the Queen, Nelson Mandela and Brian from Big Brother. "And as an amazing surprise we've got the winning potato's real life counterpart here!" "What? Nelson Mandela could be here?" It's all very good and script-edited by Harry Hill, who shows up as a wonderfully discomfited version of himself.
