Big white collar, black specs, and a bald head. Harry Hill is a cherished part of television culture from TV Burp to You’ve Been Framed, for many (including me!), he was a big part of childhood. Having quickly discovered that he was not cut out to be a doctor, Harry pursued a career in comedy, becoming the first ever winner of the Edinburgh New Comer (formerly Perrier) award. Together, Harry and I ponder his iconic look, why he’ll never be caught swearing publicly and Harry pitches me a pretty dodgy television proposal. This is a playful conversation that investigates the importance of being silly.
