IT’LL Be Alright On The Night is returning to our screens – with Paul
Merton stepping into Denis Norden’s shoes as host.

ITV bosses called time on the legendary bloopers show two years ago
after almost three decades on air.

They pulled the plug when Denis – who wrote his cringeworthy gags
himself – decided to retire at the grand old age of 84.

But now an insider says: “While it often only aired once a year, Alright
On The Night was one of ITV’s highest rating shows.

“We want to bring it back and Paul has agreed to do it.”

The programme, the first to show backstage blunders, ran from 1977 until
2006 and inspired a spin-off, Denis Norden’s Laughter File.

Have I Got News For You panellist Paul, 50, may well be hoping his new
role will help wipe out memories of his last ITV show – the total turkey
Thank God You're Here.
