News about Harry Enfield

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Harry Enfield's latest creative effort has been condemned not merely as 'perfectly foul' - a verdict bestowed on his various television personas by his own father - but as 'harmful' and 'damaging'. This time, the critics aren't drawn from Enfield's family - his father, Edward, died in 2019 - but from neighbours in eye-wateringly expensive Notting Hill, where Enfield, 62, and his wife, Lucy, shelled out £6million for a five-storey family house back in 2008.

Harry Enfield was spotted enjoying a low-key lunch with his pal Jo Green in north London on Friday.

Harry - who split from his wife Lucy Lyster in 2020 after 23 years of marriage - opted for a smart pale blue shirt and a navy flat cap, and was joined by his two dogs.

Beaukay Bespoke Flowers, a Liverpool-based company, has received acclaim for its cigarette-shaped creation, which captured national attention at a recent event. People are catching the image on Twitter, formerly known as X. One admirer wrote: 'The brief was she loved a ciggy & to tell people to f*** off!' 'We love doing these meaningful tributes, particularly when it makes the family smile and reminisce about their loved ones in the midst of such sadness.'

On Tuesday, Harry Enfield and his long-time pal Kate St John joined him for a stroll around north London. The comedian, 62, stepped out when he discovered the theme tune for his '90s television series Harry Enfield & Chums and Harry Enfield's Television Programme. Harry departed from his wife Lucy Lyster after 23 years of marriage in 2020, leaving a causal figure in a navy jacket and cap.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: During both world wars, a network of voice pipes was used for shipboard communication, with one end of wood or metal, one end shaped to fit the speaker's throat and the other connected via a long air pipe to a receiver cone, which was flared to amplify the sound. The pipe was shielded by a layer of waterproof textile fabric, which, being a poor conductor of sound, allowed long lengths of tube to be used without interference.

On Sunday, Harry Enfield and his partner Catherine Shepherd went shopping in London. On Tottenham Court Road, the 62-year-old comedian and his companion, 48, put on a loved-up display after picking out some home furnishings.

Whisper it softly, but this could be London's best-kept mystery. Here is a spot with zero litter (let alone dog waste), every conceivable variety of bar and restaurant (indoor or out), cleanest swimming, and, in general, the best transportation links in the capital. On a couple of massive open-air screens, I see a few dozen people lounging around on an immaculate lawn watching the Ashes. Several bars surround this grassy plaza if anyone feels thirsty. If you like something more sophisticated, you might want to visit The Ivy restaurant's terrace. You'll need to book early in advance to get the namesake in London's West End. No reservations are required here. If cricket isn't your thing, there is another huge screen down the road that shows golf. Pictured Robert Hardman in Canary Wharf

Alison Owen, the comedian who dated Ms Allen's mother, was seen walking behind the Smile singer when they left the Duke of York theatre following her appearance in The Pillowman. Ms Allen, 38, was impossible to miss in a psychedelic £210 dress by Danish designer Stine Goya, although Enfield clutching a bottle of mineral water looked happier out of the limelight.

Ex step dad Harry Enfield helped Lily Allen with her West End play The Pillowman. On Friday, the comedian-turned-actress, 38, was seen leaving the Duke Of York Theatre with the comedian. Harry, a 62-year-old man, had been involved with Lily Owen's mother Alison Owen, 62, for three years, and helped raise lily and her brother Alfie, 36, who were in a relationship.

I can't remember what I was wearing, but it must have been some kind of party dress because my gay friend said on it and said - in a fruity Oscar Wilde sort of voice - that my breasts looked 'rather magnificent.' Everyone chuckled, even Enfield, who agreed. He then said something along the lines of 'do you mind if I have a go?' They came out, clutching them both hands and jiggling them about with a ferocious enthusiasm that surprised me and everybody else by surprise, but I must confess.

A vibrant posse of men and women enjoyed a never-ending parade of black-tie parties, Oxbridge balls, and debutantes' dances, dubbed "Bright Young Things." Dafydd Jones, a Tatler magazine photographer, had unique access to capture their revelry in the 1980s. His photographs have been collected for a book called England: The Last Hurrah, which has been published for four decades.

DEPUTY SPORTS WRITER IAN HERBERT: The news appeared like a sliver of blue sky on a cloudy day. Saint and Greavsie (right) has returned amid the chaos, commotion, and self-aggrandisement that has increasingly consumed football. On ITV4, ITV4 will feature six compilation episodes of their best bits this summer, as well as a catch-up on ITVX. Because not everyone will be interested in Greavsie's discussion of Scottish goalkeepers, Hamilton Academic, referees, or the Swedish Viking hat he wore on the last episode in the 1980s, judicious editing will doubtless be useful. Now there is more sensitive. However, the legendary Aztec Gold theme tune, which was first used by ITV for the Mexico'86 World Cup, will return to the United States, where we will revisit one of the most exciting, most innovative, and stunning football programs ever seen.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Since we're not doing a full-blown Coronation with platoons of dukes in ermine and princes of the blood kneeling in fealty, why not just save the money - and cancel the Abbey? Prince William and his monstrously sensible Auntie Anne have rented the function room at the Holiday Lodge Express in Slough instead. At 3 p.m., it's free for an hour before Mel and Keith's engagements. 'That's all the country can afford, Pa,' says Wills to the King (Harry Enfield). The Windsors Coronation Special (Ch4) was everything fans could have hoped for, with a vehement argument that the Monacheerr is not Institushanly Rarh-sist.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be mercilessly parodied in a one-off special of Channel 4's 'The Windsors'. Actor Amit Shah, who appeared in Faisal Bhatti in Happy Valley, has been given the role of Prime Minister Amit Shah in the satirical Coronation Special. The King and Queen, played by Harry Enfield and Hayden Gwynne, are staging a spectacular celebration with pomp and circumstance in the plotline.

To combat what it describes as the national 'forelock-tugging,' the broadcaster has revealed a series of 'alternative' programs, ahead of Charles' crowning. Frankie Boyle (pictured below in a promotional photo for the show) will say goodbye to the Monarchy, which will ask if the royal family 'has a place in today's world.' And Andrew - The Problem Prince, which will air in two parts, will feature former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis on how she was grilled by the Duke of York (both seen top right) about his affair with late billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Following the tumultuousness surrounding Andrew's affair with Epstein in November 2019, the duke resigned from public life. Prince Andrew: The Musical will be broadcast on the radio in Coronation Special Edition (bottom right), starring Harry Enfield as the King, and it will also air Prince Andrew: The Musical.

The Windsors is back for a coronation special ahead of King Charles' big day on May 6 in Channel 4 comedy The Windsors are back for a coronation special. Camilla, the evil step mother, is a soap-opera hybrid who brings the famous family back to life. The Monarch wants an epic accession to the throne, but only for Prince William (Hugh Skinner) to shave proceedings in an attempt to reflect the cost of living crisis.

The Sussexes will be mocked in a one-off special of Channel 4's The Windsors, according to the Mail on Sunday, with a plot line based on their as-yet unconfirmed attendance at the Coronation. The show's producers say they are spoilt for choice on plotlines due to the real-life drama unfolding on a daily basis, with Channel 4 bosses deciding to center their Coronation coverage around the hit sitcom. Last week, filming began in London and one on-set source has dubbed the Harry and Meghan fiasco as "manna from Heaven" for the writers; but they will not include the Sussexes' new Frogmore Cottage eviction to prevent the surprise ending. According to a person, Meghan and Harry are set to attend the Coronation in the show because they sorely need the money. The "will-they-will-they" return of Harry and Meghan is absolutely part of the storyline in the series, and the writers are raving over it,' the source added.

We take a look at the retro candy and treats that have been rebranded over the years as Lilt is set to be phased out from our shelves as part of a rebrand that would see it replaced with a new version of Fanta. Beginning today, the new version of Fanta will be available. Coca-Colo Europacific Partners (CCEP) reported the change in a tweet, noting that the drink's packaging and logo would be updated, and that it will now be labeled Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Harry Enfield, like a pre-war Punch copy, is brimming with a witty satire on subjects that almost no one remembers. Any degree in the history of the BBC was needed to fully comprehend even half of the gags in Paul Whitehouse's one-off sketch show, The Love Box In The Living Room. Stanley Baldrick and Ronald McDonald, 1930s Prime Ministers, were taken to gun by Harry. If your brain automatically translated those political rants about Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald, you'd get full marks.

According to a report, Sir Tony Blair is one of speakers who have been 'quietly no-platformed' by university societies due to questions that they are too offensive. Protesters branded the former prime minister as a "war criminal," the Cardiff University Politics Society's decision not to invite him. In addition, the society felt that it would breach its "duty of care" if it upset students who may have had relatives involved in the Iraq war. Many comedian Harry Enfield and former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond were among those excluded from speaker lists at the Oxford Union debating society. Speakers are not allowed in the first place after being rejected in an internal vetting process,'Quiet no-platforming' is a troubling new phenomenon. It means that the speaker's 'cancellation' is never revealed. According to the Higher Education Policy Institute's study, new free speech rules could make the situation worse, as the event's organisers anticipate legal action arising from controversial activities.
