A hilarious last episode in the present series. I'm surprised to see a lot of clips that didn't make it into last weeks episode used in this weeks, for example the '45 Minute Make Over'. Highlights for me was The Apprentice 'spoon feeding' , Eastenders and Gails 'Arm Kitchen Roll Holder' from Corrie.
He said 'See you in the autumn' so does this mean an autumn run of the series then aswell as Christmas/New Year specials?

Sounds like it
Great news. September is usally when loads of new "top" series turn up so he'll have plenty of shows to take the p*ss out of.

The autumn comment has made me think.
It either means that...
(A) they think it's been a success for them, and they want to increase the run, and the writers/producers think that they can do 26 weeks a year.
(B) they are having two shorter series, in the same vein as Ant & Dec
(C) they want to put it into the autumn to capitalise on pre Christmas advertisers
or
(D) they are moving it due to having the FA Cup rights from next season, and think that the schedule may end up being over crowded next January. This one could also link into the moving of X Factor results to a Sunday, meaning that they would have a half hour gap in the autumn schedule.
Does anyone know anything concrete?

FA Cup seems most likely.
I really don't think it could sustain 26 episodes a year - I think it's struggled with the 12 or 13 it had this time. As much as I love Harry Hill, I wasn't too disapointed we reached the end of the series.
Perhaps though two 8-part series - one in the autumn, one in the Spring, could work quite well.

I think this Autumn series was commisioned before the ITV got the rights to the FA Cup, I could be wrong though. I do agree that 2 series of 8 per year could work. The writers are more than capable of doing it as this series hasn't dropped massively in quality throughout (like last series did - all in my opinion of course!). The main problem is that bar the soaps the show can get stuck in a rut as there is only so much "crap" telly on so we end up seeing freeky eaters every week and as good as that is, with 13 shows at once there is little variety.
Ideally the show should run September-November with all the pre-christmas stuff like X-factor - then a break (bar a Christmas special) then return March-May to coincide with, amongst other things,The Apprentice which is one show that Burp lampoons really well. That would spice the variety of shows up a bit whilst giving the writers a bit of leeway with whats on at what times of year.
