Harry Hill's TV Burp

It's hard to believe that a whole ten years ago Harry Hill's TV Burp was a guerilla comedy show; a surreal late-night frolic fronted by the inimitable comedian. In those days the BBC didn't let him use clips of EastEnders, which led to a memorably hilarious bit of "undercover" filming as Hill turned up at BBC Television Centre with a tin of ham and a Twix for the then director-general, Greg Dyke. Oddly, Dyke wouldn't see him.

Then, suddenly, Burp was catapulted into the mainstream with a peak-time Saturday-night slot and everyone wanted to join in the fun as Hill lampooned terrible telly. Even the BBC loosened its grasp on those EastEnders snippets. Tonight, we reach the end with Hill's last TV Burp. The show might continue with another host but for those of us who have loved it from the start, that would be unthinkable and pointless. Because it's all about Harry.

Harry Hill: Ignore the rumours, TV Burp is finished

Harry Hill has told fans in the studio audience at the last episode of TV Burp that he definitely won't be back to make another series.

Editorial: The Last Burp

The final episode of TV Burp aired earlier today, so we've decided to take a moment to reminisce about many great years of your favourite Saturday night show!

If last night's TV Burp does turn out to be the final offering from Harry Hill and the gang it's a sad day for television. Because despite Harry relying too heavily on puppets and taking some worrying forays into self-indulgent slapstick in later years, this simple truth remains: we might never see a TV show as funny as this again. Certainly not on ITV.

Harry Hill's TV Burp: top 10 gags

As Harry Hill's TV Burp reaches its final episode, Michael Hogan celebrates a joyously daft decade on air with his top 10 TV Burp gags.

After a decade getting square eyes, host Hill has declined a lucrative new deal to continue this much-loved, award-winning show, meaning tonight's episode is not only the end of the series but likely to be the last ever. So expect guests, knowing gags, surprises, songs and extra silliness as the big-collared, bespectacled comedian takes one last delightfully daft look back at the week's small screen highlights.

Harry Hill is NOT quitting TV Burp

Harry Hill has found quitting TV Burp too hard to swallow - and agreed to carry on making the hit show after all.

The big-collared comic has vowed this will be the last series of his superbly silly TV round-up, making this the penultimate episode ever. Hill looks back and pokes fun at the week's small-screen highlights, all the while making slapstick sight gags and acting out soap opera pastiches. Enjoy this delightful romp while you still can.
