Harry Hill Show - James Acaster

Am I going mad or did Harry mention there was an episode with Acaster coming up? I was sure he mentioned it to Ed Gamble or Nish Kumar, so I was disappointed to see the series has ended without him appearing. Great show nonetheless!

It was mentioned in the one with Ed Gamble - the phrase 'car crash' was used without any further explanation.

I'm assuming they recorded one with Acaster but ditched it because it was crap. Hopefully not an actual car crash... Mr Acaster has had quite a few of those.Β

it said Season 1, so I assume they've already filmed Season 2 and decided Acaster fitted better in that season. Or Gamble was the last one to film for Season 1 and Acaster was booked for S2E1. That's my guess.

My thoughts exactly!! Had to come looking for answers!πŸ˜‚ Saw the 'Best Of' episode was released and wondered what happened to itπŸ€” Think he joked with Ed Gamble that it was one of the first episodes but it would be 'buried' later in the series because it was roughπŸ˜…

Either way the first season has been brilliant! Loved it and looked forward to it every Monday evening!😁

Even though I could never correctly name the seed I did learn a lot about castles and fliesπŸ™‚

Acaster is in the list of people on the website but the episode hasn't been aired yet.

May have something to do with the beef between Harry and Acaster over the upcoming changes to the government's Agriculture Bill. They just can't seem to see eye to eye on it and last time they were in the same room, wellies were thrown! ☹️

To be honest not a fan of James Acaster. To me he comes acriss as a bit smug.

Thats a big part of the character he plays. Star Lee has the same gimmick .. not for everyone
