Watched him in Professor Branestawn, he was the weakest link, just terrible, and with the failure of his film and London show, like a lot of past comedians, I think he had his day. I saw him live a few years ago as well, and was so bored!
He will soon join the group of forgotten Comedians.

I watched about 20mins of it! Uggggg
Make haste, for it starts in but half a minute!
I loved his Channel 4 stuff, TV Burp not as much.
I have never found him to be the slightest bit funny.
Professor Branestawn had potential, but definitely made it worse.
Oh come off it. That role wasn't exactly challenging.
Anyone could play that part. All you need is a stuck on beard and some weird clothes, and speak in a doddery manner.:D
I could do it in my sleep.:D:o
It was the same with all the other parts in Branestawn. Easily played. The only one who showed any acting ability was the little girl.
I did want to go and see 'I can't sing' and was surprised it closed so early. I'd love to see the return of 'Burp' - as long as it was the format of the old series!
Agreed. I have never been a fan, TV Burp just isn't my style of humour
Could always go back to being a Doctor if his comedy work dries up!
Honestly I think all people ever think of with Harry is that he was a one trick pony with TV Burp and now he's killed the show off when ITV wanted more and he's got nothing left to offer. Honestly this opinion couldn't be further from the truth!
Firstly anyone who has only ever watched TV Burp needs to watch 'The Harry Hill Show', his long forgotten, hard to find cult classic that was a million times better than TV Burp was even in it's best years. I was hopeful when he did the reunion in 2012 that maybe the show would finally get the recognition it deserves, sadly not. But if anyone thinks TV Burp is definitive Harry Hill, then they're wrong it's this:

People who moan about him finishing TV burp need to realise that although great the show went on for 11 years! That is probably double the lifespan of most UK TV shows. I remember so clearly watching TV Burp when they stuck it on at about half four on a Saturday afternoon in the early 2000s. The first series ran in a graveyard slot of about half ten, most people seem to be under the illusion it ran from 2007 or so.
From the moment I heard about Professor Branestawm I knew it was going to be brilliant (David Mitchell & Harry Hill how could it not be:D) and I think it was. Harry Hill didn't over play it which was important, you almost forget it is Harry. I think it will continue as a series. It will be interesting to see how Stars in Their Eyes goes but I really think a series of Prof Branestawm, maybe Saturday evenings in a kind of Doctor Who slot, is the future.
He'd probably get loads of work if he said f___ a lot.
