A funny, fun DVD from a cultural gem to make you smile.
It’s always great to watch Harry Hill and his cool sense of humour and here he puts his ‘best bits’ on display in this hilarious and brand new DVD, Harry Hill’s TV Burp, The Best Bits, featuring the funniest moments, classic clips and an array of exclusive extras from this great four-time BAFTA winning show.
Harry Hill’s DVD is packed with memorable clips, skits and quips featuring Harry’s inimitable weekly take on British telly. From Coronation Street and EastEnders, to My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and Antiques Roadshow; the best on the box is subjected to Harry’s trademark ribbing, and who else would have a chicken sending an email?
It’s amazing, but it’s now a decade since TV Burp first hit our screens and fans of the series will be able to re-live some of the best bits including: Harry in his own very special fight; his uncanny resemblance to Heston Blumenthal; what happens when the underfloor heating is turned up too high on Dog Rescue; a sensational confession from the Knitted Character; and what Harry really gets up to in the ad-breaks...
Polaroid Pictures
Other highlights include Anthea Turner who turns out to be a really good sport, though Harry’s portrayal of her and those Polaroid pictures had me in tears, especially with a special tip on how to remove yoghurt stains from the carpet, and wine from the sofa. But boy, can Harry fold a towel better than Anthea.
I loved the bit about the Sausages, Hugh & Freedom Too with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, where we learn about the emotional plight of the sausage.
Oh so sad, it will make you weep. Sausages will never be the same again!
Oh, and watch out for that crazy guy who can’t stop dancing as soon as the music starts. Weird or what?
Exclusive Extras
Harry Hill’s TV Burp, The Best Bits DVD is also packed with exclusive extras - where the big-collared-comic gives us the key to his ‘Classic TV Burp Sketch Vault’ showing memorable sketches from the archive plus a selection of the very best out-takes.
The outtakes show that Harry Hill has a great sense of humour and must be a fab guy to work with, that’s probably the reason why his shows are so much fun and this DVD is no exception.
Harry Hill is a cultural gem on British TV and in my opinion a telly icon. Long may he reign and we get wet with tears of laughter.
Summing Up
What can I say, it's Harry Hill and he's as funny as ever. If you want a good laugh and love this madcap style
of humour like only Harry Hill can deliver, then this DVD is right up your street.
