Following the wildly successful TV Burp, pickings have been slim for Harry, with his film, X Factor musical and Stars In Their Eyes reboot all failing to find favour. Now he's back in familiar territory, desk and studio audience in tow, black-rimmed sights set on the world of cookery programmes. A sub-genre TV Burp might seem unappetising, but given the mileage Hill was able to wring from Freaky Eaters, this could well be worth tasting. Paul Hollywood is his first guest.
Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 16th October 2016Harry Hill's Tea-Time: a recipe for glorious fun
Harry Hill returns to TV with a spoof cookery show featuring Paul Hollywood and fist-fights over Ferrero Rocher. As you might expect, it's quite odd.
Alexi Duggins, The Guardian, 16th October 2016Don't expect to tune in to Harry's new cookery show hoping to find inspiration for quick weekday dinners. The hilarious host's tongue is firmly in his cheek as he shows us - and guest Paul Hollywood - how to make such classic culinary delights as 'Greek student non-baking cake'. Just go with it...
The Sun, 16th October 2016TV preview: Harry Hill's Tea Time, Sky One
For those of you that miss TV Burp you are going to have to make sure you have Sky. Harry Hill's new series is definitely not a TV Burp clone, but to this fan who mourned the passing of his ITV1 clipfest it does feel like the nearest thing you'll see in both spirit and execution. And judging by the first episode it could evolve to be just as funny.
