Yahoo News Watch Harry Hill hunt eels with EastEnders star
Harry Hill finds dealing with an eel a tougher affair than expected in this hilarious exclusive preview of Harry Hill's Tea-Time.
In the segment, the comedian is joined by EastEnders star Jessie Wallace, who reveals that she isn't a fan of jellied eels.
Still, they need to make something to eat, and it is up to Harry to catch an eel so that they can turn it into a dish.
They go over to a tank filled with what seems to be a dead eel... but is it really?
Tea-Time, now in its second season, first premiered in 2016, following the end of Hill's famous TV Burp a few years prior.
Speaking at the time, the comedian accepted that comparisons between the two would be inevitable, though added that TV Burp "would have gone downhill".
"I think for my money this is as funny as TV Burp, and I think at times it's funnier and I think it's very different," he said. "I think the key is not to make something similar.
"Broadcasters and other people always want you to repeat the same thing over and over again, but you have to keep your nerve, otherwise it's boring, isn't it? I mean, when TV Burp started, no-one liked that."
He continued: "I know people inevitably will say, 'It's not like the old days, we prefer TV Burp', but I also know that if we'd kept doing TV Burp it would have gone downhill. People would have been over it. And actually the ratings were beginning to go down and it wasn't quite the must-see programme that it was."
Harry Hill's Tea-Time is on Tuesdays on Sky One at 8.30pm.
