===''Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule'' (2017β2019)=== In March 2017, Hill began presenting six thirty-minute episodes of ''[[Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule]]'', which aired on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] on Thursday nights, 8.30 to 9 pm. The [[panel show]] sees Harry welcoming two teams of two celebrity guests as they are tasked with saving planet Earth from [[alien invasion]] by sending evidence (via the "fun capsule" of the title) that Earthlings are good fun and therefore worthy of saving from destruction. Harry alludes to the premise of the show as being rather tenuous in a running joke during each show's introduction, before introducing the two teams of guests, usually a mix of comedians and television stars. In a similar style to ''[[Harry Hill's TV Burp]]'', the show includes various clips from television and film, often attributed or related somehow to the current guests. The guests also partake in sketches and songs based on or directly spoofing the funny or bizarre items featured. There is a regular slot entitled "Local News Round Up", accompanied by its own theme tune, which involves each of the guests taking turns to read out bizarre headlines from local newspapers. Alan the Alien also appears as a green extra-terrestrial's arm, emerging from a box to aid Harry in some way. Guests on the show included [[George Formby Society]], [[Alison Hammond]] and [[Les Dennis]]. The series has received positive reviews, with many pointing out the similarities to ''TV Burp''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/harry-hills-superb-alien-fun-10006119|title=Harry Hill's superb Alien Fun Capsule is a bit like TV Burp repeating itself|first=Ian|last=Hyland|website=[[Daily Mirror]]|date=10 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/what-is-harry-hills-alien-fun-capsule-on-itv-is-it-any-good/|title=What is Harry Hill's Alien Fun capsule on ITV?
