Harry Hill and RTE

    RTE will eventually launch an international channel in the UK on Freesat comprising the best/worst of home produced programming.

    This will mean that many RTE programmes will be ripe for a bit of piss taking by the genius that is Harry Hill and his TV Burp show.

    Harry will thank his lucky stars that all this new material has appeared for him!

    Which RTE programmes do you think will be at the top of his list? I honestly don't know where he would start! The All Ireland talent show, Catherine Lynch, Mauve Higgins, the Byrne Ultimatum.....etc the list goes on!

    It wouldn't work as no-one will be familair enough with the material (like anyone other than home sick, very home sick expats will be viewing it).

    Putting her onto UK screens will start making up for those 800 years.

    Blizzard of Odd already did a great job of this. However, RTE in their infinite wisdom decided to axe it and replace it with the panel (a show that is essentially 4 men in their mid-30's sneering at stuff on a junior cert level - great work if you can get it, but not watch-worthy television).

    I watched Harry hill last Saturday fortnight for the first time in ages. He actually had me pissing myself laughing. That show is absolutely hillarious. He did this show which culminated in all the oldies singing around a haunted piano, don't suppose anyone else saw this, sum funny

    Harry Hill's format is what RTE copied from, so it's very similiar, with Harry having a lot more chaff than Neil.

    Does Harry Hill target other obscure channels available on Sky? That's all RTÉ will be, another obscure channel. Apart from home sick Irish people I don't see too many watching.

    He does. I have seen him have a go at channels like Watch, Wedding TV and Living.

    Two of them are quite well known I think fair to say.

    Watch and Living are hardly obscure.

    Harry Hill is hilarious although I think in 2009 the standards slipped a bit. I've really liked his programmes in 2010 however.

    Plenty of Irish people over there he can take the piss out of too, ie Keith Duffy:

    It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

    I wouldn't think there will be many watching it but you never know it could garner a foothold on sky.it would be slightly interesting though to see what harry hill would make of our homegrown programmes
