Harry Hill's TV Burp (also known as just TV Burp) is a British television comedy series produced by Avalon Television, and written and hosted by comedian Harry Hill. The show ran for 11 series between 2001 and 2012 on ITV1. Each episode sees the host take a humorous look back at the previous week of programming on British television from a range of shows aired on terrestrial and digital channels.
The show's format combined elements of clip show highlights with comedic sketches and parodied scenes, and on occasion involved noted television personalities and actors of the time, alongside minor extras and real-life people. Clips featured on the show were often drawn from preview tapes that both Hill and his production team viewed in the days leading up to an episode; the most common clips coming from soap dramas and popular factual series. TV Burp proved award-winning for ITV, and spawned several DVDs, including several specials for Comic Relief.
