Harry Hill's TV Burp

This week saw the return of what has been speculated by many to be the final series of TV Burp to be hosted by Harry Hill. My fingers are crossed that isn't the case.

Hill, after so many years in charge of the show, is still able to find the tiniest aspects of any show and make a joke out of it, keeping it going on and on, forming a centrepiece that you want to return to constantly; whether it be his half-time fights, the "TV Highlight of the Week" or "Poetry Corner".

In the first episode of this series, the main recurring gag was about a man called Stephen on Channel 4's [o]Coach Trip[/i], who seemed to be so emotionless that Hill claimed there was another man called Ian trapped inside him. However, my favourite moment in this week's show was from There's No Taste Like Home in which Hill was constantly trying to figure out who had really made Nanny Maud's rabbit pie.

TV Burp is without doubt one of the best shows on ITV. It is the most successful mainstream comedy of modern times - popular with audiences and critics - winning more awards than My Family could ever had dreamt of.

However, would the format survive without Harry Hill? I doubt it.
