Regular items included songs, Harry & Burt At Home, the Channel 4 news and letters from viewer Bunty Hoven, read out by Harry and his blue cat Stouffer.

In the first series each episode would end with the badger parade, which threatened not to happen for a different reason every week. This became the owl finale in Series 2 and was replaced with Space Station Badger in Series 3.
