Series 1, Episode 38 - Harry Hill

The comedian entertains an all-star audience.

Further details

At the start of the show, Harry sings Hey Ya! by Outkast.

Harry asks Wendi Peters whether she's a cat or snake person.

Rick Parfitt asks "how's nan?".

Like in TV Burp, there's a fight - "But who was better, Winston Churchill, or Adolf Hitler? There's only one way to find out. Fight!".

Harry says that he knows what he's had for tea every day and asks Frank Skinner to pick a random date. Harry says he had two scoops of mash and two chops, in a callback to an earlier routine.

Al Murray asks "Where's Stouffer?". Harry brings Stouffer onto the stage. There's also a giant Stouffer for the people at the back to get a better look, but it's revealed to be a badger in a suit.

Stephen Tompkinson asks "How come is Stouffer blue?". Stouffer whispers the answer to Harry - "your mother... with a smurf?". Bunty Hoven also asked why Stouffer was blue in Series 3, Episode 2 of Harry's Channel 4 show Harry Hill.

Harry asks Emma Noble if she likes cats, and she says yes. Harry asks if she has a cat, and she says no - "well get a cat then". Then, he asks Miss World Rosanna Davison if she likes cats and she says no, because a cat bit her once. Harry says he can do some cat desensitisation. Harry, holding Stouffer, takes a few steps towards Miss World on the stage, going closer towards her each time.

At the end of the show, Harry sings Blame It on the Boogie by Mick Jackson, with the lyric "Blame it on the boogie" replaced with "Blame it on the badgers", as he did on Series 2, Episode 5 of his Channel 4 show Harry Hill.
