Jonathan Moore, co-founder of Rewind TV, said: “Bringing back programmes viewers simply haven’t had the chance to enjoy for years is what Rewind TV is all about.
“We’re especially delighted to welcome Harry Hill’s TV Burp back to UK television after more than a decade, alongside much-loved favourites including Time Gentlemen Please, Grumpy Old Men and Doctor at Sea.”
Rewind TV’s comedy line-up follows its August focus on cult horror programming.

It ran on ITV for 11 years from 2001 to 2012 and won three BAFTAs along the way, plus a shelf of British Comedy Awards.
