Capital Hill

Harry lands radio show

Harry Hill is to present a Sunday morning radio show on London's Capital Radio.

The comic, who won a Silver Rose at the Montreux TV festival over the weekend, will present a comedy and music show called Funch from July.

He said: "I've taken over the brunch slot and I'm combining it with fun to create a whole new experience - funch.

"I remember as a boy tuning into Kenny Everett and I'm so excited to be joining Capital FM - which not only plays all the hits, but situated as it is in Leicester Square it's extremely handy for the Tube."

Capital programme controller, Ric Blaxill said: "We've been talking to Harry for a while. He is undoubtedly a brilliant presenter and comedian, but what a lot of people don't know about is his extensive - verging on encyclopaedic - knowledge of music.

"This is going to be very much Harry's show - his own inimitable personality and humour with a distinctly Capital feel."
