Tonights show was the best of the series for me so far, and I was roaring with laughter, I couldn't stop laughing, something that I only seem to get from this show (well, mainly this show).

I think the laughter reached a high point (that continued) after the kitchen towel of the curry. I thought that the jokes were greatly set up, even the gorilla and didn't they return to a fight from a previous episode with a smuff? (I was a bit interupted at the time)


I agree - it was definitely one of the best so far. I loved in particular the gorilla rolling from Coronation Street to This Morning, etc, as well as the 'invisible camp man'. Also found the somewhat abrupt finish to "I Can't Live" by Mariah Carey's foot (!) really humorous, for some odd reason... Laughing

That whole end song, just for who, or what part of who was singing had me in stiches.

The Casualty / Channel 4 ident was hilarious, as was 'They've actually found something on Time Team!!!' Laughing

Defiantly the best show of the series, though I'm sure some shows are now putting things in just with the view to get on TV Burp - i.e. "Nellie the Elephant".

Considering the bulk of the content (of the shows being pulled up) was recorded months ago, I very much doubt it.

And anyway, Nellie The Elephant is or was an actual technique used in medical training for artificial respiration purposes. Not a throw-in for a plug on TV Burp.

If you'd watched Casualty, you'd see that that was clearly a deliberate plot point.

Much better episode today. How many more weeks of "Bring on The Wall" snippets shall we get to see before Auntie gets the hint about this silly programme?

Elsewhere: Silly Question of the week (from EastEnders, a question from Shirley to Heather (who's pretty much eating in the majority of scenes) whether she wants a kebab or not Very Happy), the Faces of Louis Walsh segment and Brucie syndrome on Casualty, followed with with the rotating baggage carousel that was strangely reminiscent of You've Been Framed. A six way fight this week as well.

Pity the ITV TV Burp site isn't what its hyped up to be from the after-credit promotion. "Get more from TV Burp" she says - an re-hashed interview, one archive clip and a plug to buy the DVD but you can watch it online first. Might have well have said "Get more from TV Burp on YouTube".

That promo is purely a way to mention the sponsor.

As they know Harry Hill is now endorsing the show, BBC1 are going to repeat certain Hole in the Wall episodes from next Saturday with the one with Vic Reeves in.

Also I do wonder if Peter Dickson puts on a serious face when he does his voiceovers? Given he has now done one for Peter Kay's spoof and now last nights build up for Louie Walsh.

Great episode, shame how much they cut from recording though, they should do an uncut version each week, I dont think ITV realise how popular it would be.

Also just to note I understand a certain Sky News presenter was in the audience this week!
