Synopsis
The ITV press office tell us:
- Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule is a panel show that sees Harry Hill presiding over two teams tasked with saving planet earth from alien invasion! Each team must find clips, people, basically anything that is fun or funny enough for Harry to place in a capsule which, in the event that we're invaded by aliens, we can present to them to demonstrate earthlings are good fun and therefore worthy of saving.
- Over a series of rounds, the two teams of two present Harry with fun stuff which Harry must adjudicate on and ultimately decide what's in and what's out of the Fun Capsule with the triumphant team winning bragging rights.
- Along the way there will be sketches, studio items and special guests. And the occasional appearance of an alien.
Put the comedy in, keep the aliens out.Is this a game show? Well, perhaps: some of the challenges invite a winner and loser, and it would be possible to award points. Alien Fun Capsule helps to define the panel game genre, and subverts it. We're reminded of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, a long-running radio "antidote to panel games".
