TV Burp Australia

Here's the Australian version of Harry Hill's TV Burp, hosted by actor/DJ Ed Kavalee. The general humour seems the same, the set's similar, the use of clips is identical, but there doesn't seem to be as much spirit to proceedings. I think TV Burp is so entwined with Harry Hill's brand of madcap humour that it's difficult to translate with someone else. See the full article for clips.

Why I Love - Harry Hill

The man is a modern day hero, and frankly, he's just not being recognised as much as he should be, even though he does have two shows on at primetime on a Saturday and has won a pretty impressive stack of awards. But if rumours are to be believed, he may soon be taking TV Burp off to Sky, which would be a great loss to terrestrial TV.

Lynn Rowlands-Connolly, Unreality TV, 24th January 2010

Another slice of small screen silliness from what's becoming a pillar of ITV1's prime-time weekend line-up - and is duly being milked for all its worth, with a rash of these round-ups as the big-collared comedian presumably takes an extended holiday. It's funny enough stuff to forgive him, though, with Strictly Come Dancing and Ray Mears getting the mickey-take treatment tonight.

Poll: Will you watch if TV Burp moves to Sky?

Here we go again! According to reports, Sky are after Harry and TV Burp again, despite previously unsuccessful attempts. Would you watch TV Burp if it moved to Sky1?

Harry Hill negotiating £3m move to Sky

TV Burp host Harry Hill locked in discussions about taking hit show from ITV to BSkyB, with contract due to finish in April.

Mark Sweney, The Guardian, 13th January 2010

Shall I tell you what I hate about TV Burp? It's never long enough. While many shows on telly seem to drag, half an hour in Harry's company always flies by frustratingly quickly.

Still, leave the audience wanting more, I guess that's the idea. Here he takes his a look back at 2009, as you could probably have figured out for yourself from the title.

Mike Ward, Daily Star, 26th December 2009

Fresh from his victory at the British Comedy Awards, telly's preeminent pop-culture satirist returns for a gander at 2009. Details are vague when it comes to the subjects of Hill's absurdist quips and pump-action puns, although experience suggests a healthy conflation of reality-based indignity, talent show poltroonism, satellite flimflam, plus Dev from Coronation Street.

Sarah Dempster, The Guardian, 23rd December 2009

Harry Hill may be in bother with telly watchdog Ofcom as 12 viewers complained over jokes about the Nazis. The TV Burp star compared a factory line of Vienetta ice creams to "German tanks rolling into Poland". And he made a potato swastika while mocking BBC show Jimmy's Food Factory.

Now Harry Does a "Delia" for Harvester

There's a new phenomenon, loosely called the TV Burp bounce of the week.

Comedian Harry Hill has found a fan in Harvester restaurants after mocking them on his hit show, TV Burp, and unwittingly driving hundreds of new diners into their establishments.

David Stephenson, Sunday Express, 8th November 2009

If you watch only one thing on television all weekend, make it TV Burp. You know the drill by now - it's wacky, it's fun, and it's for all the family. What would we do without you, Mr Hill?
