Know Wot I Mean 'Arry?

'Harry & Paul' (BBC2), now in its fourth series, is an amiable low-key sketch show featuring two of the greatest mimics and character inventors from the last 25 years. Yes, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are still making 'thetvreviewguy' chortle, snigger and occasionally keel over in admiration at their comedy/art. The ensemble cast goes over some of the older sketches - 'I Saw You Coming' is a Primrose Hill mark-up antique merchant that is all too common, the 'Dragons Den' parody is still really funny. Enfield and Whitehouse were never political comedians; they just want to make people laugh. Hat-tip to Laura Salon who has a face, if not quite a name you'll recognise (but you will shortly). There's an element of the two comics coasting it for some of the sketches but, in fairness, they're both coming from such a high level that 'thetvreviewguy' is prepared to indulge them; Harry and Paul have reached middle-age having accomplished so much that it would be churlish to expect 'zingers' with every joke and every sketch. On the downside, there's a bit of the worst of 'Private Eye' misanthropy about some of Enfield's humour - on the upside, his eye for eccentricity or the absurd is still pretty good. Definitely worth a look and you'll probably get a good laugh out of it too.
