Look, we'd all like to have TV Burp back (or even Alien Fun Capsule) but there is a context for Harry not going full studio madcap in these times. Still, I was concerned before it began to air that it would be like Matt Berry's increasingly stilted archival rambles or even Hill's own sterile You've Been Framed offerings. Thankfully, it was neither and essentially acted as both a potted bit of televisual history and a warm bit of mildly Burp-esque foolishness.
Each episode covers a different form and his success on each one varies quite wildly - in fact, the tone overall is pretty inconsistent but each one provoked at least a few pleasant laughs and nostalgic honks of a Sunday evening and frankly in these bleakly atrocious times that is absolutely job done in my eyes.
Going forward, I hope he gets a few more props and surreal rabbit holes to follow in the "control room" between archive clips and they ... well essentially just make TV Burp. Just do that. Just do TV Burp again. Go on.
