Harry Hill has completed the move from late-night Channel 4 comedian to mainstream ITV entertainer, with his first children's commission, Shark Infested Custard.
The CITV show will feature a mix of child-friendly standup and skits, all delivered by Hill in his trademark big-collared shirts.
Regular features in Shark Infested Custard will include Meet the Johnsons, in which to qualify for 10 seconds of fame families must have one member aged between eight and 11 - and be called Johnson.
In Plastered Celebrity, children will have to guess which well-known personality has been covered in plaster, with the aid of vocal and visual clues.
Shark Infested Custard is to have its own gameshow, Help the Aged, in which three kids and their grandmothers compete to win prizes. It will also feature an item called Speed Camera Boy, about an outsider who is half-boy, half-speed camera.
In Harry Hill's Pet Idol, Hill will challenge children to a talent contest against his pets - a tap-dancing armadillo called Natasha Kaplinsky and a tightrope-walking frog called Jacques Chirac.
Other Shark Infested Custard features will include Evelynne Hussey and her amazing instrument; Gary's week, starring Hill's fictional layabout son from his first marriage; royal insights; synchronised baldies; the hunt for the woman with the annoying laugh; and exploding celebrities.
Shark Infested Custard is a half-hour show commissioned for a 13-part run on CITV in a post-school slot this autumn.
Hill's latest ITV programme was commissioned by the controller of off peak, Steven Andrew, and the CITV editor, Estelle Hughes.
The show is being made by independent producer Avalon Television. It will be produced and directed by John Northover and executive produced by Avalon's Richard Allen-Turner and Jon Thoday.
