Carol Midgley, The Times, 24th August 2020TV review: Harry Hill's World Of TV series 1 episode 1
It's a genuine shock how poor this was, with almost seventy years worth of soaps there's an enormous amount of scope for either satirising the ridiculousness of what they've become or being daft and silly and mocking the duller moments, and though Hill occasionally does this, the humour is so meek and mild if it wasn't Hill making the comment you might not even be aware that it was meant to be funny. A massive disappointment, this is easily the worst thing that Hill's been involved with, it's a pointless, toothless, and bizarrely unfunny effort.
