Channel Four's Funny Fortnight season continued tonight with two revivals. Whatever Happened To Harry Hill was presented as a documentary finding out what happened to the cast of Harry Hill's television show in the 1990s. This show, which I think was just called Harry Hill, has never been repeated or released on DVD. The live videos/DVDs that were available didn't do Harry Hill justice, as he referenced jokes and routines from the show that didn't have any relevance to the live act. The whole thing was worth watching if only for the finale, which was every bit as brilliant as it used to be. Harry Hill in the 1990s was every bit as good as Monty Python, Spike Milligan, or Kenny Everett's television output.
