Harry Hill's World Of TV review
Despite lacking in Hill's typical manic energy, World Of TV is still a hugely fun and surprisingly informative piece of television.
Reece Goodall, The Boar, 10th September 2020Isn't the BBC something to be proud of?
I have been adoring Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's box-fresh series of Gone Fishing, sweeping aside the claustrophobia of 2020 with vast, glittering Scottish rivers and those likeable comedians giggling on the bank. Harry Hill has come back to the BBC after 25 years with Harry Hill's World of TV, a new Sunday night clips show that had me laughing out loud from its opening moment onwards, hosing the gloom away in a fiesta of joyful silliness. And this is just the stuff that old white men have been doing! Not bad, if you think they don't get work any more!
Victoria Coren Mitchell, The Telegraph, 5th September 2020TV review: Harry Hill's World Of TV
Dr Finlay? Now there's a gent who could fix the corona crisis.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 31st August 2020World Of TV is a safe space for un-PC comedy
The next thing the BBC should do is axe New World Order, The Mash Report, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week and all those other political propaganda shows, masquerading as comedy, which are just an extension of the left-wing Twitter echo chamber that caused the great British sense of humour failure of 2012-2020 in the first place. As Harry Hill has demonstrated, both on ITV and BBC2, what's OK is the stuff that makes people laugh.

I'm still wild about Harry, even on a clip-show.
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.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 24th August 2020Harry Hill's World Of TV review
Where have we seen this before? Harry Hill offering his surreal commentary on scenes from television... But Harry Hill's World Of TV differs from the phenomenon that was TV Burp in several ways.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 23rd August 2020Harry Hill's World of TV review
While his new series might lack the surrealness of TV Burp, Hill is always great fun when poking fun at television - first stop, the Queen Vic.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 23rd August 2020Harry Hill's World of TV, BBC2, review
The TV Burp comedian failed to recreate the magic of the ITV clip show eight years on.
