Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule is a British television comedy panel show created, written and presented by Harry Hill and produced by his company Nit Television for ITV. The series began on 2 March 2017 and follows Hill and a group of celebrity guest panelists trying to find funny things to convince an alien invasion that the earth is worth saving. A second series began on 14 April 2018.[1] A third series of the show was commissioned by ITV and started on 8 June 2019.[2] On 4 February 2020, it was confirmed that ITV had cancelled the programme.[3]
The show revolves on Hill trying to fill an "alien fun capsule" with funny things so that aliens will not invade. Regular segments include "Local News Round-Up", where Hill and the guests sing a short song about strange headlines from the local news, Hill performing a short skit with 'Alan the Alien' to decide what the next round will be, a 'what happens next' segment, taken from You've Been Framed, where Hill shows a clip before the start of the ads and a song at the end of the show.
