AOL is set to launch an online-only video series starring comedian Harry Hill, as the online media giant looks to boost its profile.
Harry Hill’s Little Internet Show has been produced by ChannelFlip Media and written by Hill. The series will consist of ten five-minute episodes starting from 15 October.
The series will offer an intimate and humourous glance into the private life of one of Britain’s most popular entertainers.
Harry Hill’s Little Internet Show will feature a host of new characters, never seen before puppets and an original song from Harry in each episode.
Speaking about this new venture, Harry said: “The web is where it’s at these days, and I’m very excited to be able to create these shows for a new and growing audience online.
“Each Little Internet Show has been hand-crafted with loving care by myself and all the Knitted Characters that have worked on them, and we very much hope viewers enjoy watching them as much as we did creating them.”
The show will appear in 10 five-minute ‘bite size’ episodes, all shot in and around Harry’s holiday home in Whistable.
The first episode of the series features Harry surprised by Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle when she asks him to hide her from manager Simon Cowell.
New episodes of Harry Hill’s Little Internet Show will be released weekly for 10 weeks from 15 October to 18 December.
David Shing, VP of media and marketing at AOL UK, said, “We’re always looking for strong and original content that will engage our consumers. Harry Hill is a leading UK entertainer who has won numerous awards and constantly delivers exceptional programmes.”
