Behind the scenes of the beloved 90s show, You've Been Framed, there were some secrets that have now been revealed by the show's creator, Harry Hill. The comedian, who brought us years of laughter through the iconic ITV program, recently shared a shocking revelation about the lengths people would go to in order to get their hands on the £250 prize that was offered for the best home video submissions.
According to Harry, there was a "national scandal" that occurred during the show's run. He explained that some people would submit fake videos in hopes of winning the cash prize, and even a producer of the show was guilty of this. In fact, the producer needed the money for her upcoming wedding and submitted a clip of a hedgehog falling off a draining board onto a sink. The video was accepted and she received the prize money, sparking controversy and betrayal among the show's team.
But that wasn't the only shocking revelation that Harry shared. He also revealed that You've Been Framed was actually cancelled in 2020, but it took two years for anyone to notice due to the repetitive nature of the show's episodes. Each episode featured similar home videos, such as an old lady falling off a trestle table or a child spilling hot drinks on themselves. However, Harry's witty narration kept viewers entertained for years.
Besides his success with You've Been Framed, Harry also hosted another popular show, TV Burp, from 2001 to 2012. The show featured skits of popular TV moments and humorous spoofs of the week's TV. Harry mentioned the possibility of a return of TV Burp, but admitted that the current landscape of TV has changed so much that it may not be possible.
He explained that when TV Burp was on air, everyone watched the same shows like X Factor and EastEnders, making it easy to create funny skits that everyone could relate to. But now, with the rise of streaming services and diverse viewing choices, it would be difficult to create a show that appeals to everyone.
It's no doubt that Harry has had a successful career in TV, taking over as host of You've Been Framed in 2004 from previous hosts Lisa Riley and Jonathan Wilkes. The show was originally fronted by Jeremy Beadle, who passed away in 2008. However, even with his long tenure on the show, Harry revealed that he has no say in the videos that are chosen for the show. He joked about the "long list" of submissions, some of which are fake or even "sex videos."
Despite the ups and downs of his TV career, Harry's humor and wit have kept audiences entertained for years. And although there may not be any plans for a TV Burp comeback, we can always look back on the memories of You've Been Framed and laugh at the hilarious home videos that we've all grown to love.
