This was a slightly different entry in the 2008 Christmas comedy DVD stakes. Most of the releases aimed at the Christmas market are recordings of stand-up performances (Dara O’Briain, Russell Howard, Frankie Boyle, Michael McIntyre and loads of others not connected with “Mock The Week”), while this, not surprisingly, is a compilation of the best of “TV Burp”.
If you like Harry Hill and “TV Burp”, you’ll like this DVD. If you don’t like Harry Hill or the show, then this won’t change your mind – that was nice and easy.
The main content of the DVD is structured like a normal weekly show featuring all of the regular Harry Hill send-ups and routines in the form of highlights from the series. The extension of the idea of the viewer shouting at the TV (don’t we all do that?) works well, particularly when it continues logically into Harry actually taking part in the clips he satirises. So far, so good.
