That’s right - Gervais turned up on Harry Hill’s TV Burp this week, closing off a montage of celebrities exclaiming “Ear Cataracts?!?” We said recently that he dreams of Hill’s audience figures, and this just underlines it!

Alright, alright, Ricky Gervais isn’t quite as bad as I might make him out to be - he can obviously laugh at himself, and he has done remarkably well.

But his rise has been far too quick, there are better comics and writers out there who deserve to receive the adulation that the press have unfairly laid at the “Fat Chancer’s” feet, and it would be nice for Mitchell & Webb, Ben Miller, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, Paul Merton and Jack Dee to all appear in Hollywood movies.

Congratulations to Harry Hill, meanwhile - a superb series, the best yet.
