Harry Hill's TV Burp Book



In many ways this is your typical TV-tie-in annual. Coming out in time for Christmas 2009 this book presents a glossy bunch of various articles taking the mic out of TV shows and TV stars, in much the same way as the TV Burp TV show does. However all the content here is entirely separate from that that appeared in the TV show so you don't have to worry about having come across it before.

Highlights include a Coronation Street photo story entitled "Ken's Violent Rampage", Sir Trevor McDonald's stand-up comedy page showcasing his jokes, including multiple jokes about Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and Harry Hill's pick-o'-the-bill, where Harry Hill details his favourite moments from that hit ITV show, The Bill.

There are also bits in the book that are more related to the TV show, such as the exclusive photos of the Knitted Character's baby, plus the outcomes of some of those fights that occur and continue through the ad-breaks.

As with anything celeb-based it will be of its time and the celebs featured will disappear from memory the further past 2009/2010 we get. Also this being a collection of articles will be hit and miss but if you enjoyed the TV show then the book should be right up your street.

(This book is listed on Amazon here.)
