[singlepic=13,320,240,,right]Only one man can make sense of the countless hours of television that grace our screens on a daily basis, and in October Harry Hill is back with his much missed TV Burp!

Harry’s Back in October!
Podcast comics
An increasing amount of comedy is finding its way into the Podcasting charts, with names such as Ricky Gervais, Phil Jupitus, Armstrong & Miller and more heading a list of amusing downloads.
260,000 downloads graced Ricky Gervais’ podcasts back in 2005, with other comedians quick to follow. One currently amusing example is Andrew Collins and [...]
Gervais’ Millions
[singlepic=28,320,240,,right]Not content with bending the USA to his whimsical will, Ricky Gervais has moved beyond the realm of the former Iron Curtain. It’s true - David Brentski will soon become a star in Russia just as he did in the US and of course the UK before that.
The Russian version of The Office - [...]
Ricky Gervais - GTA IV Cameo

Previous years have seen chimps such [...]
Ricky Gervais Tribute Limps Home with 1.6 millionth of a viewer
Ahh the Gervais bubble - could it be about to burst?
It seems that the recent tribute to a comedian who has been with us five minutes attracted just 1.6 million viewers, an insignificant fraction of the available figures. As TV Scoop put it:

Gervais and Merchant Reunite
Oh so the tubby bloke off of Extra’s has perhaps realised he’s useless on his own then?
Doubt it, but it is encouraging to see that the widest arsehole in British Comedy (packed full of Fleet Street’s finest) has reunited with the unnervingly tall Stephen Merchant with whom he co-wrote The Office.
The movie has a working [...]
