The sketch show responsible for the catchphrases "You've got to have a system", "What are the chances of that happening, eh?" and "If it's too hard, I can't understand it".
Regular items included songs, Harry & Burt At Home, the Channel 4 news and letters from viewer Bunty Hoven, read out by Harry and his blue cat Stouffer.
In the first series each episode would end with the badger parade, which threatened not to happen for a different reason every week. This became the owl finale in Series 2 and was replaced with Space Station Badger in Series 3.
