Harry Hill's TV Burp

This would be a bad mistake for Harry Hill and I would lose a lot of respect for him if he moved just for money.

She was doing theatre, last time I heard.

He's at the top of his game and I thought he had ITV wrapped around his little finger. I really can't see why he would want to move to Sky1.

From the reports I read, Sky are offering him more freedom to persue other projects on the channel as well. Harry has had about 2 or 3 pilots rejected from ITV in the past couple of years so this might well be what sways him

Wasn't he supposed to have a spoof soap pilot at ITV, Soapington Way - or am I imagining things? Maybe that never happened as they ordered a double-length TV Burp series instead.

But yeah - think he'd lose a lot of respect moving to Sky for the money. And a hell of a lot of exposure too, look what happened to Harry Enfield.

I don't know, Didn't the BBC used to ban the show from showing clips of EastEnders in the early days, until the BBC realised that the light banter/micky taking doesn't effect the programmes featured in any way.

They didn't give itv any "clean" clips, which was why it was always grainy taped off the tv stuff. I presume they got away with it under the review/fair usage stuff in the end otherwise they just wouldn't have risked it

I think that'd be down to the presenters. As dire the link may have been, it gave a show a little bit of warmth. To be fair, though, I'd turn that down against Harry's narration.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I really hope he stays put, I don't like the idea of Sky getting their hands on it

It had a pilot filmed but then ITV decided they didn't like the look of it.

To be honest if he went to Sky now I wouldn't be too bothered as the show is getting to a point where it would be better to end it than milk it. Losing him from You've Been Framed would be the bigger issue IMO.

Which wouldn't happen for a while as it would defeat the point of poaching him in the first place...
