===TV series=== [[File:HarryEnfield1988.jpg|thumb|Enfield in 1998]] In 1990, Enfield developed his [[BBC]] sketch show ''[[Harry Enfield & Chums|Harry Enfield's Television Programme]]'', later retitled ''Harry Enfield & Chums'', with Whitehouse and [[Kathy Burke]]. Eschewing the [[alternative comedy]] style prevalent at the time, both versions of the show were indebted to comedians such as [[Dick Emery]] and [[Morecambe and Wise]]. Enfield and his co-performers created another group of nationally recognised characters for these shows, such as ''Stan and Pam Herbert'', who use the catchphrase "We are considerably richer than you" (in an exaggerated West-Midlands accent), ''Tim Nice-But-Dim'', ''[[The Scousers]]'', ''[[Smashie and Nicey]]'', ''Wayne and Waynetta Slob'', ''Annoying Kid Brother'', who grew into ''[[Kevin the Teenager]]'', and two old-fashioned presenters, ''Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson''. In 1991, Enfield played Dermot in the sitcom ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]'' along with [[Martin Clunes]], [[Caroline Quentin]] and [[Leslie Ash]], originally on [[Thames Television]]. Enfield left after the [[List of Men Behaving Badly episodes#Series 1 (1992)|first series]], and was replaced in the [[List of Men Behaving Badly episodes#Series 2 (1992)|second series]] by [[Neil Morrissey]] as Tony. Enfield is a professed fan of [[opera]] and fronted a [[Channel 4]] documentary series on the subject. In 1991 Harry also starred in the series ''[[Gone to the Dogs (TV series)|Gone to the Dogs]]'' as Little Jim. After a short break from television, Enfield signed a new contract with [[British Sky Broadcasting|BSkyB]], but produced only one series, ''[[Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show]]''. In 2002 Enfield returned to the BBC with ''Celeb'', a new series based on the comic strip of the same title in ''[[Private Eye (magazine)|Private Eye]]'', as the ageing rockstar Gary Bloke. In 2002, Enfield was the first guest on the revamped version of BBC's ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'' where he did a 2 minutes 1 second lap{{clarify|date=January 2024}}. He also appeared on the show on 23 November 2008.<ref>{{cite web |title=Harry Enfield is a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Again (Series 12, Episode 4) |url=https://www.topgear.com/videos/top-gear-tv/harry-enfield-star-reasonably-priced-car-again-series-12-episode-4 |website=Top Gear |access-date=22 December 2023 |date=3 February 2009}}</ref> Enfield has also narrated various TV documentaries, such as [[Discovery Wings (British and Irish TV channel)|Discovery Wings]]' ''Classic British Aircraft''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Classic British Aircraft |url=https://www.discoveryuk.com/series/classic-british-aircraft/ |website=Discovery UK |access-date=22 December 2023}}</ref> In 2007, he played Jim Stonem in the Channel 4 series ''[[Skins (British TV series)|Skins]]''. He reprised this role in the second series in 2008, and the third series in 2009. Enfield directed two episodes of Skins in season two entitled "Chris" and "Tony" in 2008. He appears often on mainstream television shows. His comedy series ''[[Harry & Paul]]'' (originally titled ''Ruddy Hell! It's Harry & Paul'') started in 2007.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}} In September 2013 Enfield appeared in the [[BBC Three (former)|BBC Three]] comedy series [[Bad Education (TV series)|''Bad Education'']] as Martin, the father of [[Jack Whitehall]]'s character Alfie.
