Line 1:
{{tropework}}
British comedy sketch show from the 1990s, a collaboration between Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse (who went on to head up ''[[The Fast Show]]''). The partnership was later revived with ''[[Harry and& Paul]]''. (The other "Chum" was Kathy Burke.)
 
Titled "Harry Enfield's Television Programme" for its first series. Not so prolific as ''[[The Fast Show]]'', but it still added several [[Stock British Phrases]] to the lexicon.

{{tropelist}}
Contains examples of:
* [[Aluminium Christmas Trees]]: The character ''Mr Dead'' (a parody of ''[[Mr. Ed]]'' with a ''corpse'' instead of a horse) failed to make impact because (Enfield says) he failed to realise that the viewing public didn't share his enthusiasm for old American TV and didn't get the reference.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Nicey from Smashie and Nicey.
Line 32:
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]: "English for Aliens" is a comedic version of the trope.
* [[The Movie]]: ''Kevin And Perry Go Large!''
* [[Not That There's Anything Wrong Withwith That]]: The main joke of the "Modern Dad" sketches.
* [[Oop North]]: As usual in Enfield's comedy, a common theme (the Scousers, Julio Geordio, etc.). A special, "Harry Enfield's Guide to the North of England, collected these sketches and added segments featuring a new Enfield character, a Yorkshire industrialist stereotype named George Whitebread.
* [[The Parody]]: One [[Christmas Special]] is an elaborate parody of ''Titanic'', fitting all the characters into appropriate roles using [[Commedia Dell Arte Troupe]].
