Quintessential Comedy | Devoted to British Comedy

[singlepic=13,320,240,,right]ITV have revealed their Autumn television line up, with Harry Hill and Al Murray both returning to Saturday evenings.

The two very different standup acts bookend a new season of television starting in September with the new variety show For One Night Only vying for press attention against The X Factor.

ITV have got the big guns out, and further demarkating Saturday nights as commercial television territory for that period of the year when the BBC don’t have Doctor Who on.

The big news of course is the return of QC favourites Al Murray and Harry Hill.  Harry Hill’s TV Burp is easily the most consistently funny comedy show on television, while Al Murray’s Happy Hour is a marvellous update of the Dame Edna Experience format.

Not before time, give those two men a raise and time at the bar please!
