Before that he provided voices for the British satirical puppet show Spitting Image.
After Saturday Live, Enfield moved to the BBC where he developed his sketch show, "Harry Enfield's Television Programme", and later Harry Enfield and Chums with fellow comedians Paul Whitehouse (later of Fast Show fame) and Kathy Burke. This created more nationally recognised characters such as "Mr. and Mrs. Loadsamoney", "Tory Boy", "Wayne Slob" and "Kevin The Teenager". Two characters played by Enfield and Whitehouse, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson appeared for several years both in the series' mock 1950s information film sketches, and in television commercials for the first of the privatised UK telephone companies, Mercury Telecommunications. (exact company name needs checking)
In 2000 Enfield appeared in a his first leading film role playing "Kevin" alongside Kathy Burke who played the character's male friend "Perry" in "Kevin & Perry Go Large". The film charted the pair's attempt to become professional DJs by travelling to the nightclubs of Ibiza and molesting their idol DJ "Eyeball Paul", played by Rhys Ifans, whilst gaining love but losing virginity along the way.
After a short break Enfield signed a new contract with Sky Television, but so far this has only produced one series which has flopped badly.
