Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 31st August 2020World Of TV is a safe space for un-PC comedy
The next thing the BBC should do is axe New World Order, The Mash Report, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week and all those other political propaganda shows, masquerading as comedy, which are just an extension of the left-wing Twitter echo chamber that caused the great British sense of humour failure of 2012-2020 in the first place. As Harry Hill has demonstrated, both on ITV and BBC2, what's OK is the stuff that makes people laugh.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 24th August 2020TV review: Harry Hill's World Of TV series 1 episode 1
It's a genuine shock how poor this was, with almost seventy years worth of soaps there's an enormous amount of scope for either satirising the ridiculousness of what they've become or being daft and silly and mocking the duller moments, and though Hill occasionally does this, the humour is so meek and mild if it wasn't Hill making the comment you might not even be aware that it was meant to be funny. A massive disappointment, this is easily the worst thing that Hill's been involved with, it's a pointless, toothless, and bizarrely unfunny effort.
