The ex-doctor said: “If you’re a light entertainer there’s really only one place to be on a Saturday night, and that’s ITV.”

Peter Fincham, ITV’s director of television, channels and online, said: “Harry is one of the outstanding comedians and television entertainers of his generation.
“I’m delighted that ITV1 will continue to be the home of the multi-award winning TV Burp and I very much look forward to working with Harry and [TV Burp producers] Avalon on new projects for the channel.”

Strictly host Bruce Forsyth is to be “comedy roasted” with jokes and quips by fellow comics and celebs on a Channel 4 tribute show.
Insiders say the normally loyal BBC man, 81 “jumped at the chance” to make a rare appearance on C4 after bosses bought the show’s format from American TV.
Previous US victims have included Joan Rivers, 76, William Shatner, 78, and Pamela Anderson, 42.
An insider said: “Comedy Roasts will be a black-tie event harking back to the tradition of the New York Friars’ Club of the 1920s where Roasts first began.
“Just like then, the victims are subjected to a mix of insults, tall-tales and genuine tributes from friends. Brucie loved the idea.”
Other UK victims include Chris Tarrant and Sharon Osbourne. “Roasters”, on the series screened next month, include Alan Carr, Sean Lock, Jack Dee, Dame Edna, Jerry Springer and Louis Walsh.
Look out for this great tribute, don’t miss out!

Melbourne is again hosting it’s annual massive Comedy Festival.
It will be a case of ‘stand-up’ and be counted when nearly 400 national and international acts and events descend on Melbourne for the 24th Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With a 17 percent increase in the number of shows from last year, Australia’s largest cultural event – and one of the three biggest comedy festivals in the world – now boasts more laughs than ever.
The 24th Festival will be tickling Melbourne’s funnybone for four weeks from 24 March, bringing back the whimsy, pulling some legs, and just generally putting funny business back in some of our favourite festival venues: Melbourne Town Hall, Trades Hall, The Forum, City Square, Capitol Theatre, along with a host of new fabulous venues across the CBD and suburbs – from op shops to libraries. And with an extra $40,000 from the City of Melbourne to support late night programming, acts including Silent Disco, the world-wide festival phenomenon requiring headphones and dancing shoes, and American comedy duo Janeane Garofolo and Greg Behrendt will be keeping a smile on audiences’ dials til the early hours.
Sales thus far have exceeded expectation, with a number of performances selling out before the official program is released on 18 February. With Festival shows featuring everything from burlesque to break-ups, puppetry to poetry, and robots to rock comedy, all served with a healthy side of sex, religion and politics, the 24th Melbourne International Comedy Festival has something on the menu for everyone.
Who knows what talent it will uncover!?

The cast of the hit US TV show Glee is likely to top the UK albums chart this week, according to midweek sales.
Industry magazine Music Week said Glee: The Music was outselling this week’s number one, Alicia Keys’s The Element Of Freedom, by two copies to one.
The music from the show, which is shown on E4 in the UK, has produced a slew of entries in the UK singles chart.
However, Tuesday’s Brit Awards might help boost sales of the winning artists which could change chart positions.
Lily Allen, Lady GaGa, Dizzee Rascal and Florence And The Machine were among winners at the ceremony, which took place at Earls Court.
Peter Gabriel is hoping to make the album chart top 10 for the first time since 1994 with Scratch My Back, which is currently the fourth top-seller of the week, behind Lady GaGa’s The Fame.
Also out this week is The Pet Shop Boys’ Pandemonium, which captures their live performance at the O2 Arena in December.
Glee is a musical comedy which follows the ups and downs of a singing club in a US high school.
The cast’s cover of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ went to number two in January with four further songs making the top 40.
Last year, 25 songs from the show made the US Hot 100. Songs from the show are being released in the UK immediately after each episode airs on E4.
The hugely popular “Glee” is shown on E4 and is regularly releasing music exclusively from the show so keep an eye out for them!
