Harry's show is at its best when he makes those little cruel/sarcastics asides.
More of those would be better.

Yeah, I was there and it was unintended. The old man walking slowly off set also didn't seem to be scripted, he just stayed in character throughout. Harry brought him out to take a bow at the end.
There was absoultely loads of stuff cut from the episode as well, they should do a Have I Got News For You style extended 45 minute version to fit more stuff in. There was a brilliant bit with a parrot from EastEnders, can't believe they didn't have time for it.

They made quite a bit of use of Harry Herring (the elderly gentlemen), though he did seem to get a bigger laugh than Harry Hill just by walking so slowly on and off set. I'm guessing when Harry put the 'Red Wine' label the wrong way up it was an unintended mistake.

I agree, these moments have been lacking (if not missing entirely) from this series - they're often the most clever and observational bits that made the show what it was in the past. The clever and edgy has sadly been replaced by some childish slapstick it seems - flying coffins and Bodger & Badger style mashed potato routines... There was just enough to keep me laughing, but it's becoming less "must see" as the weeks go on I think.

Funny this week I thought, although he tends to pan out certain features a lot more now.
