Yahoo News Who does Harry Hill want to play in EastEnders?
Everybody knows EastEnders' Mitchell brothers – their bald heads, Cockney charm and penchant for smashing things up is infamous.
But what if Phil (Steve McFadden) and Grant (Ross Kemp) had another brother, one who was more interested in having a laugh than threatening people?
If comedian Harry Hill has anything to do with it, it could well happen.
"A TV role would be great… I'm up for all of that," he told the Daily Star Sunday. "I don't tend to get asked because I'm not a particularly good actor.
"I could be a long-lost Mitchell brother."
The current Mitchell brothers might want to watch their backs though, because Harry says he'd be "a villain".
"I used to love EastEnders in the early years when they first had Willmott-Brown," he said.
"He was a posh baddy and it worked really well. They haven't had that as much recently.
"It would be good if they had a Mr Big in Walford who could take on Phil."
Harry does have some acting experience already, as he played the title character in the BBC TV movies The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm.
But he reckons EastEnders would be an easier gig, because he'd hardly need to spend any time in make-up.
"That show was the bit of acting I've done and it was okay," he said. "But I was hanging around a lot in a costume and a wig.
"I think my strengths probably lie elsewhere."
If Bobby Davro can do it, we don't see why Harry shouldn't have his turn on the Square.
