** Later in the same ''[=EastEnders=]'' episode, Spencer is put in charge of the fish delivery in the factory. Harry freeze-frames on a close-up of the list where orders have been bullet-pointed with time frames about ten minutes apart from each other.

Harry adds on putting all the ordered fish away, standing back and admiring all the fish that's been put away, organising a street party in Albert Square to celebrate the fish being ordered, and...

* From the episode dated 26th March 2011, we get a scene from ''Coronation Street'' with four characters looking like it could turn into a pretty nasty fight. Harry does the usual lead-in, but before he can scream "FIGHT!", it cuts back to ''Series/CoronationStreet'' where the scene degenerates into an all-out brawl. Around half a minute later, Harry steps in and declares "FIGHT!", being followed with 'Heather', Nobbin (Some weird horse-skull thing from a show he looked at the previous week), the Knitted Character, a bug-eyed store dummy, and Wagbo! All while "I Predict A Riot" blares in the background.
