Harry Hill

Matthew Keith Hall (born 1 October 1964), known professionally as Harry Hill, is an English comedian, presenter and writer. He pursued a career in stand-up following years working as a medical doctor, developing an offbeat, energetic performance style that fused elements of surrealism, observational comedy, slapstick, satire and music. When performing, he usually wears browline glasses and a dress shirt with a distinctive oversized collar and cuffs.

He won the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at the 1992 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and began his career in radio and television comedy with the radio series Harry Hill's Fruit Corner (1993–1997). He has hosted his own television comedy shows Harry Hill (1997–2003) and Harry Hill's TV Burp (2001–2012), and narrated You've Been Framed! from 2004 to 2022. His other projects include The Harry Hill Movie, released in 2013.

Early life, education and medical career

Hill was born in Woking, Surrey on 1 October 1964[1] and grew up in Staplehurst, Kent, where he attended the local primary school.[2][3] At the age of 14, Hill moved with his family to Hong Kong for two years and attended Island School there.[3][4] He was later educated at Angley School and then Cranbrook School in Kent and St George's Hospital Medical School. He received his MBBS medical degree from the University of London in 1988.[5] Hill worked as a urologist at Doncaster Royal Infirmary before quitting the medical profession because he "didn't feel in control of what was happening".[6]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Hill nearly returned to work at the temporary NHS Nightingale Hospital London, after filling in the form after "A few drinks". He was asked if he could start immediately due to his last medical specialism being in respiratory emergencies. However, he turned down the role owing to travel issues.[7]

Career

Harry Hill's Fruit Corner (1993–1997)

Hill achieved his breakthrough in 1992, when he won the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[8] Shortly after, a radio show starring Hill was commissioned by BBC Radio 4 entitled Harry Hill's Fruit Corner. Hill hosted the show as himself, and each week he was joined by various guest performers, as well as regular character actors including Al Murray and Burt Kwouk. The show featured a variety of other celebrity guests during its run including Rolf Harris and Ronnie Corbett. Each episode is interspersed with Hill's stand-up routines. Fruit Corner ran for four series on BBC Radio 4.

Harry Hill's Fruit Fancies (1994)

Hill made his television breakthrough in 1994, when he starred in BBC2 black-and-white silent comedy series Harry Hill's Fruit Fancies. In a similar format to Fruit Corner, Hill performed a series of sketches, with celebrity guests making cameo appearances.

The series ran for six episodes on BBC2 between October and December 1994. For Christmas that year, a VHS containing a 100-minute compilation of the best material from the series, as well as unseen sketches, was released by BBC Video.

Saturday Live (1996)

Hill was a regular on Saturday Live, which was broadcast in 1996 on ITV for eight episodes.[9]

Harry Hill (1997–2003)

حصل هاري هيل على مسلسله التلفزيوني الخاص على القناة الرابعة عام ١٩٩٧. ومن بين الشخصيات الرئيسية كان شقيق هاري الأكبر، آلان، الذي جسّد دوره آل موراي، وابنه بالتبني، آلان جونيور، الذي جسّد دوره مات برادستوك. كما ظهر بيرت كوك في العديد من الحلقات بدور "صائد الدجاج" الخاص بهاري، وكان يختلق كل أسبوع عذرًا لعدم تمكنه من اصطياد دجاجة، ثم يؤدي أغنية "هاي ليتل هين". وفي المواسم اللاحقة، ظهر هيل وكوك في اسكتشات كوميدية بشخصيتي كارل لاغرفيلد وجياني فيرساتشي .

ظهرت ماي سونغ، زوجة هيل في المسلسل، عدة مرات في البرنامج، وكان محورها الرئيسي محاولة سرقة دفتر مدخراته في بنك آبي ناشونال . ومن الشخصيات الأخرى التي ظهرت في البرنامج قط ستوفر، وهو قط دمية مصنوع من المطاط الأزرق. كان ستوفر يجلس عادةً على عرش، مدعومًا بذراع مطاطية على غرار رود هول ، وكان يُستخدم لترهيب الضيوف خلال عروض هيل الكوميدية. من عبارات ستوفر الشهيرة: "وجهه كبير" و"تم الأمر - يستحق الاحترام".

في نهاية كل حلقة، كان من المفترض أن يُقام عرضٌ يُسمى "موكب الغرير". ضمّ الموكب عددًا من دمى الغرير ، من بينها " غرير غاريث ساوثغيت " و"غرير تاسمن آرتشر "، وغيرهما. إلا أنه في كل أسبوع، كانت تحدث مشكلة ما تمنع الغرير من تقديم عرضه. وبدلًا من موكب الغرير، كان هيل يُغني عادةً أغنيةً مع ضيفٍ كان قد دعاه إلى البرنامج. صدر كتابٌ مُرتبطٌ بالمسلسل في أكتوبر 1998 بعنوان " كتاب هاري هيل الممتع" .

أُلغي المسلسل في أبريل 2000، لكن قناة ITV أعادت بثه في مارس 2003 تحت اسم "برنامج هاري هيل الجديد كليًا" . وبُثّ بين الموسمين الأولين من برنامج هيل الجديد على قناة ITV بعنوان "TV Burp" . تضمنت فقرات منتظمة في نسخة ITV "تحدي هاميلتون" الذي شارك فيه نيل وكريستين هاميلتون ، وفراشة ترتدي بنطال جينز أزرق. أُعيد عرض المسلسل على القناة الرابعة في أغسطس 2012، في فيلم وثائقي استعادي بعنوان " ماذا حدث لهاري هيل؟" . [ 10 ]

برنامج هاري هيل التلفزيوني (2001–2012)

In October 2001, Hill moved to ITV in a lucrative deal, in which he created an all-new show, Harry Hill's TV Burp, where he would take a look at the week's television, showing clips from various British television programmes, and framing them with funny commentary or intercutting additional footage.

The series would feature a regular stable of all new characters, including the Knitted Character, a small knitted rabbit, Wagbo, a demon love child whose parents are reportedly Wagner Carillho and Mary Byrne of X Factor fame, and an interpretation of Heather Trott from EastEnders, played by Steve Bernham, as well as a doll of The Apprentice star Alan Sugar, who would regularly rap before clips of The Apprentice were introduced.

The show was piloted in December 2001, before running for eleven full series between 2002 and 2012, before being cancelled to allow Hill to work on other projects. Hill would occasionally say his catchphrase "Chippy chips!" and the show became known for another catchphrase "You get the idea with that" and Hill's actual sideways look at a topic. The show won a number of BAFTA awards, and spawned five Best of TV Burp DVD compilations, and a book based on the series, which was released for Christmas 2009.

You've Been Framed! (2004–2022)

From 2004 to 2022, Hill narrated 15 series of the comical clip show You've Been Framed!, often shortened to YBF!, replacing Jonathan Wilkes on the show. In February 2023, it was reported that the show had been axed by ITV.

Harry Hill's Shark Infested Custard (2005)

In October 2005, Hill wrote and starred in Harry Hill's Shark Infested Custard, a thirteen-part show broadcast in the CITV children's television slot, on ITV. While many of his well-known characters, such as Stouffer and Garry Hill, his fictional layabout son from his first marriage, remained, it also showcased several new characters, including Speed Camera Boy, an outsider who is half boy and half speed camera, and Evelynne Hussey, a one-woman band who played a number of different instruments.

While the show featured a game-show element, Help the Aged, it was very similar in structure to Harry Hill. In the show, Hill wore a pale yellow, custard-coloured shirt, with a giant collar, instead of his usual white collar.

The series was never released on DVD; however, it did spawn Harry Hill's Whopping Great Joke Book, a book of children's jokes, released in 2006. The book was also made available as an iPhone application.[11] A second book, Harry Hill's Bumper Book of Bloopers, was released for Christmas 2011.

The Harry Hill Movie (2013)

The Harry Hill Movie premiered in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2013. The film also stars Matt Lucas, Julie Walters, Johnny Vegas, Sheridan Smith, Simon Bird, Marc Wootton, Jim Broadbent, and band The Magic Numbers.[12][13] The film sees Hill embark on a road trip to Blackpool with his Nan (Julie Walters) when he discovers that his hamster has only one week to live.

The 88-minute film was directed by Steve Bendelack and made $3,647,870 at the box office.[14] It was also released on DVD on 14 April 2014.

Stars in Their Eyes (2015)

Hill presented a revived version of the ITV talent show Stars in Their Eyes.[15] The series aired for six episodes from 10 January until 14 February 2015. The revival has proved divisive. Fans of the original format were extremely critical of it, saying that Hill had made the show about himself rather than the contestants.

In April 2015, it was announced that the show had been axed by ITV, due to poor ratings.[16]

Harry Hill's Tea Time (2016–2018)

Tea Time saw Hill welcome guests to a spoof comedy kitchen and ask them to cook bizarre things. A new entertainment series for Sky 1, the first series debuted on 16 October 2016, and was viewed by 400,000 viewers. Ratings slipped the following week, when only 180,000 watched. Guests for the first series included Paul Hollywood, Joey Essex, Gok Wan, Martin Kemp and Jason Donovan.

Harry Hill's Tea Time was commissioned for a second series which began airing in January 2018.

Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule (2017–2019)

In March 2017, Hill began presenting six thirty-minute episodes of Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule, which aired on ITV on Thursday nights, 8.30 to 9 pm.

The panel show sees Harry welcoming two teams of two celebrity guests as they are tasked with saving planet Earth from alien invasion by sending evidence (via the "fun capsule" of the title) that Earthlings are good fun and therefore worthy of saving from destruction. Harry alludes to the premise of the show as being rather tenuous in a running joke during each show's introduction, before introducing the two teams of guests, usually a mix of comedians and television stars.

In a similar style to Harry Hill's TV Burp, the show includes various clips from television and film, often attributed or related somehow to the current guests. The guests also partake in sketches and songs based on or directly spoofing the funny or bizarre items featured. There is a regular slot entitled "Local News Round Up", accompanied by its own theme tune, which involves each of the guests taking turns to read out bizarre headlines from local newspapers. Alan the Alien also appears as a green extra-terrestrial's arm, emerging from a box to aid Harry in some way.

Guests on the show included George Formby Society, Alison Hammond and Les Dennis.

The series has received positive reviews, with many pointing out the similarities to TV Burp.[17][18]

The show moved to Saturday evenings between 7.30 pm and 8.00 pm for a second series, aired in 2018, and a third in 2019.[19][20]

Harry Hill's World of TV (2020)

In 2020, Harry Hill started presenting Harry Hill's World of TV. Using archive clips, this TV Burp-style show pokes fun at television, with each episode themed around a specific genre.[21]

Novels

In 2002, Hill published a novel entitled Flight from Deathrow, based around the unlikely fictional antics of real-life celebrities and politicians, as seen through the eyes of a storyteller who drifts in and out of a coma. His second book, Tim the Tiny Horse, was published in October 2006, and featured the tale of a small horse who has to wear glasses because of poor eyesight.

صدر كتاب هيل الثالث، " مغامرات الملكة الأم الإضافية "، في أكتوبر 2007، وهو عبارة عن رواية فكاهية تتناول حياة الملكة الأم وعصرها. أما روايته الرابعة، "تيم الحصان الصغير الطليق" ، وهي الجزء الثاني من "تيم الحصان الصغير "، فقد صدرت في أكتوبر 2009.
