Great episode, topped off by 2 of my old schoolfriends appearing in it.

The "DOI : Make Me A Star" bit for those who don't know what I'm on about.

Harry's show is at its best when he makes those little cruel/sarcastics asides.

More of those would be better.

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. Smile


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.

I'm off to see the recording this week, it should be fun. I agree to what you're saying about the uncut version, there was loads from a recording I went to last year that they didn't put in, some that was hilarious.

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 The clever and edgy has sadly been replaced by some childish slapstick it seems - flying coffins and Bodger & Badger style mashed potato routines...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.

I think this week's has been the best since the 'Review' show at the beginning of the series.

I was crying with laughter at Harry's 'banjo hand' flopping about. But maybe that's just me and my warped sense of humour. Very Happy

Unfortunately I found this weeks episode a bit boring. Sad

I found it alright, though not thrilling. I have to say the bits I found funny were the "I Beg Your Pardon of the Week" and the EastEnders Slater parrot thing.

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

"He touched the asparagers.." etc

Good episode this week. Violet giving birth to a phone was funny. Good to see more of a focus on programmes rather than chopping and changing a fair bit.

Much better this week I thought, though the EastEnders parrot suffered from the problem of going on far too long, while the ending wasn't at all funny either.


I bet Harry Hill though probably single-handedly ensured Freaky Eaters was recommissioned.

I thought this week's show better too - much tighter than some recently - and I liked the, "He touched the asparagus" song and show-girls - some good Harry Hill surreal humour at last and none of the slapstick of recent weeks.
