Harry Hill: His Third Child, the Double Pram Years, and Kids on Tour

At 14:17 · chapter starts 11:40

Josh Widdicombe recalls a detail that stuck with him from Harry Hill's first podcast appearance: Harry wasn't sure about having a third child, but came to regard the decision as the best he ever made. Harry elaborates on why — the sheer chaos of having two children just one year apart, the Irish twins double pram situation, attempting to navigate automatic doors with a side-by-side pram while the door kept closing on you. Rob Beckett notes that the under-pram child in a tandem buggy gets a raw deal, staring at the back of the pram ahead. The conversation then moves to Harry's recent live tour at Shepherd's Bush, where all three of his adult children appeared on stage dressed as characters from the show. His daughter Freddy was inside a Gary costume. She came on stage and took his hand, and — without being able to see her face — Harry knew instantly from the feel of her hand that it was her. He describes it as 'really affecting and sweet', and the genuine emotion in the moment stands out clearly against the comedy of the surrounding conversation.
