Harry Batt is a television pilot starring Ian Kirkby as the fictional "Geordie copper" DI Harry Batt. The article is about both the character and the show itself.
Harry Batt first appeared on Dick and Dom in da Bungalow in 2004, at the beginning of the show's fourth series. His main reason for coming to Da Bungalow was to punish presenter Dominic Wood after it was learned that Wood had cheated in a game of That's The Stuff, on which Dom had replaced a jar of garlic mayonnaise with yoghurt. Harry forced Wood to eat the garlic mayonnaise on live TV as a punishment.
Harry Batt devised two games during his appearances, both of which were shown during the last series of the show.
This game was first played on 10 September 2005 during the first episode of the fifth season of The Bungalow. It took place in the back garden of the Bungalow on Saturday mornings.
The first Bungalow head to shout "Nae Body Move" followed by a squad name, won the game. Some of the different squads were:
A game in which the chosen bungalowhead was "taken down the station for a bit of interrogation". In this game the scene was that of a typical police interrogation, the bungalowhead had a secret word, given to them by Dick and Dom. Harry then had ninety seconds to ask him/her some questions. While being asked these questions the bungalowhead had to say the word as many times as possible, without Harry being able to guess the secret word. When ninety seconds was up, he attempted to guess the secret word. If he got it right, the bungalowhead lost all his/her bungalow points. If he got it wrong, the bungalowhead gained 20 bungalow points for each time he said the word.
