What are the Chances of That Happening?

You might remember a bit earlier in the year there was this thread:

Harry Hill to remake Beadle's About

I saw the pilot a couple of days ago, and it was good. Not entirely Beadle's About type pranks, some were more of the "Just for Laughs" type, others a lot more "Trigger Happy TV", but they all had a Harry Hill twist. So one example is a woman asks people in a park to look after her dog while she goes to get something, and while she's away a warden comes over and tells the person off for the dog making a mess - typical stuff, but it ends up with Harry as a policeman going to get his police dog, and coming back running at them making machine-gun noises with a stuffed Alsatian under his arm..!

My favourite was probably the Beefeater going into Chicken Cottage and asking for some beef, there was a cute one with some rabbits in a pet shop who started talking when children were around but were quiet when they went to show thier parents. Another series of sketches featured Stephen K Amos as an Ambassador who claims he doesn't have to pay for anything or can sit whereever he wants because he has diplomatic immunity.

There was also a good one at the end which was more Beadle-style at first, played on an estate agent taking a couple (including Harry in a wig) around a house, with various things going wrong (shelves falling down etc.), but again it got more and more surreal as it went on.

Hopefully it'll get made into a series.

Well at least Harry's disguises won't be limited by a beard...or the lack of hair for that matter!

I hope that doesn't mean a stupid "Zzzzap!"-like sketch with very cheesy music, otherwise I won't be watching.

No, no annyoing music as far as I can remember. I mean the sort of pranks played on passers by rather than the Beadle way specifically setting up certain people. It was a mix of those plus the "Trigger Happy" type which were less pranks, more sketches played out in public.

There were a few things I didn't find quite so funny, like a guy who was acting like he was on fire when he wasn't, and there was a bit with Harry as a talking satnav which was very similar to the automated phone sketches in Fonejacker ("What is your name?" "Susan" "Hello.. Stephen") but overall it was good.

Weren't Ant and Dec supposed to be having their own "candid camera" style show a couple of years back. I think a pilot was broadcast, but it didn't seem to get much further.
