What's the story?
The return of Harry Hill.
Oh, goody. What's he up to?
A new six-part series Harry Hill's World Of TV will see the comedian examine the history of a different telly genre each week. First up: soaps.
Well, he does love soaps. Remember the time Harry and Heather from EastEnders ate cream cakes in the back of an Eddie Stobart lorry?
That was a sketch from the now defunct Harry Hill's TV Burp.

Or when he refereed a fight between the "naughtiest vegetarians", Hitler versus Heather Mills?
Again, a sketch from TV Burp, a show that departed to telly heaven eight years ago.
I miss TV Burp.
You're not alone. It has left a gaping chasm. Hill has a keen eye for the ridiculous. Such as when he compared Viennetta ice creams on a factory belt to "German tanks rolling into Poland" or perfectly nailed the many faces of Louis Walsh (surprise, joy, smug, outrage, sad and Hitler).

As for his new series?
According to the blurb, it will be revealing the clever plot devices and storylines used to keep people hooked on telly's soaps, from the debut of The Grove Family in 1954 through to Crossroads, Albion Market, Coronation Street and EastEnders.
When can I watch?
Harry Hill's World Of TV, BBC Two, Sundays, 8.30pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
