I think the narrator of Come Dine With Me would be an ideal replacement, he has a similar comic style.


The first time I saw Come Dine With Me, I thought Harry was the narrator!

Yes but the reason you never see him might be because he has, well... a face for radio.

I was really quite disappointed to hear this! Sad TV Burp has been my source of humour when it came on.

I personally think the show will be better off to just end with Harry. After all as Gavin and others have stated, he makes the show what it is, and it is partly his format.

Whilst I am gutted about his departure, I can't help but feel the glory days of the show are over. It was at its best when it was in some graveyard time slot and was more of a quirky, geeky 'cult' programme compared with it's current mainstream bloated state.

Dave Lamb was in an episode of Miranda, a thing on Dave and something on the CBBC channel. All in-vision. He has grey hair and a regular/normal face.

He was in the spin off series to ITV's Echo Beach too called 'Moving Wallaper' where he played a scriptwriter. He's third from left.

That was a pilot of a programme starring Alexander Armstrong. I assume it didn't get a series, but it was in a similar vein to the Rhod Gilbert thing on BBC1

Classic TV Burp to show up on Cartoon Network Bit of an odd choice of channel and time - weren't the early series a bit on the naughty side?

Huh. I thought it would fit better on ITV4.

Oh, and also, are you sure it's not the Best of TV Burp episodes?

Cartoon Network, a channel I don't have. If it were on ITV four i'd certainly be interested, especially if they're starting from series 1.

Yes, but it's not like the programme itself makes a choice of where it work best. The programme goes to the channel offering the most money.

If you want an example of a bad fit look at the US Top Gear which was made for The History Channel, what's that about?
