Harry Hill wants TV Burp to return - but with one major change
Harry Hill wants TV Burp to return - but with one major change The 60-year-old comedian fronted the ITV comedy clip series - which saw Harry make jokes relating to the previous week's hottest TV shows, with episodes also featuring sketches and parodied scenes - from 2001 until it ended in 2012 (Image: BBC ) Harry Hill wants TV Burp to come back – but with a new presenter. The 60-year-old comedian fronted the ITV comedy clip series - which saw Harry make jokes relating to the previous week's hottest TV shows, with episodes also featuring sketches and parodied scenes - from 2001 until it ended in 2012. And whilst Harry thinks he would not succeed in re-creating the award-winning show, the star is open for someone to replace him in reviving the programme. In an interview with the new issue of Radio Times magazine, he said: "I don't have any plans [to bring back Harry Hill's TV Burp]. "These things are best left undone. We did all the jokes. Trying to re-create that, I'd be on a hiding to nothing, but I'd love someone else to do it. "There's a space for that sort of show and I'm surprised no one's filled it." Article continues below The Knitted Character was a recurring character in many series of Harry Hill's TV Burp until it was replaced with Mr. Fluffy in series 11. And Harry said the Knitted Character does not want the "weekly stress" of the show either if it came back. Speaking about the Knitted Character - who appears in Harry's new live show New Bits and Greatest Hits - he said: "He's in my live show. He comes on at the end as part of the badger parade, riding on the back of a heron. "Blink and you'll miss him because he's only tiny, but he's still working. "Knitted Character is older and wiser now. He doesn't necessarily want the stress of a weekly show, either." The comic - who married artist Magda Archer in 1996 - binged-watched property shows, such as Homes Under the Hammer and EastEnders, for Harry Hill's TV Burp, and now he gets annoyed by them if he tries to tune in. He quipped: "I used to watch them all for TV Burp, so they're a bit triggering, which is unfortunate because they're the only shows my wife watches." Harry - whose real name is Matthew Hall - said the sketch comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus is what inspired him as a child to become a comedian. He explained: "Brucey [Forsyth], Eric [Morecambe] and Ernie [Wise] and The Two Ronnies [Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett] were big in our house, but what really got me was Monty Python's Flying Circus. Article continues below "The problem was, my dad decided what was on, and at 9pm, he wanted to watch the news on BBC One. "I wanted to watch Not the Nine O'Clock News on BBC Two. We'd sneak it on, turn the sound down and hope he wouldn't realise what the time was."

Moment The Chase's Bradley Walsh accepts ‘incorrect' answer from Jenny Ryan
Watch as Bradley Walsh accepts an 'incorrect' answer from The Chase 's 'The Vixen' on Monday (30 June). In the final round of the repeat episode, with £3,000 up for grabs for contestants Laura and Nick, Walsh asked Jenny Ryan: 'What colour indicates semi-skimmed milk on bottles?' After mulling over her answer, Ryan said: 'Red and silver', to which Walsh replied: 'I'll accept'. Puzzled fans took to social media to complain that host Walsh had allowed an incorrect answer, with the final contestants just one question away from winning. "Semi skimmed milk tops are green' one argued, with another stating: 'Weird he just accepted a wrong answer'. However, some pointed out that Ryan was likely referring to less common glass bottles, which have a red lid.

John Cena loves a traditional fish and chips The 48-year-old actor has been over to the UK a lot over the past two decades during his time as a WWE superstar (Image: Getty Images ) John Cena absolutely loves fish and chips and a Full English Breakfast. The 48-year-old actor has been over to the UK a lot over the past two decades during his time as a WWE superstar, and he's embraced the local cuisine to the point that he went for a very traditional meal before Tuesday's (01.07.25) Heads of State world premiere in London. Appearing on ITV daytime show This Morning, he said: "I enjoyed [fish and chips] so much that right before our premiere last night, we had about 90 minutes and myself and my two friends, all from America, we sat down, we ordered fish and chips, we had a pint, and that got us ready for the world premiere." John - who revealed he went for vinegar and a little bit of dunking in the tartar sauce" - got more of a taste for a chippy after the dish plays a role in his new movie with Idris Elba. The Hollywood star also opened up on his admiration for a "savoury breakfast", which he learned to love during his early WWE days. Article continues below He added: "All savoury! In America, we tend to lean on the sweet. It's all very filling, but very sweet. Boy, do I love a savoury breakfast! "I've been a fan of the English breakfast for a long time - you gotta remember, with WWE, I've being coming over here for 25 years." Although the lines between real life and art have been blurred with his food preferences, John insisted that won't be the case after he played the President of the United States in the new action comedy. He quipped: "I am playing the role of the president of the United States. I would much rather play the role of President of the United States than BE the President of the United States. I'm happy in my lane!" Article continues below When This Morning host Ben Shephard joked that real life president Donald Trump often appears to be playing a role too, the wrestling legend kept his response diplomatic. He teased: "I allow everybody to have their own perspective of that. I'm just really excited for our movie, and that's my way of weaving around that."
