Harry Hill has joined forces with Alistair McGowan to make a new show for ITV.

The comedian is set to reunite with the team behind his 'TV Burp' series - which looks set to end in March - to make a new panel programme entitled 'You Cannot Be Serious!', which will be hosted by Alistair.

Featuring clips, sketches and impressions of topical themes, the show will allow Alistair - who is well known for previous TV series including 'The Big Impression' - to get back to penning sketches.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'The programme will show funny clips from the week's sports and allow Alistair to write new sketches for the first time in ages. The pilot was side-splittingly funny.'

Last month, Harry indicated 'TV Burp' will culminate next month with a 'huge finale'.

He wrote in a blog post: ' The New (and , it seems last) series of TV Burp starts up on the 4th Feb and finishes 8 shows later at the end of March in a huge finale - SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT !!! (sic)'
