A sitcom showcasing the Pub Landlord's finest hour, join him for a beer in the snug with his assorted bar staff and misfit regulars - a handful of hollow-legged hop fanciers for whom a public house is a public home. Al Murray steals the show with his popular creation, serving behind the bar with a fine supporting cast including Marc Bannerman (rival publican Greg Thomson); Phil Daniels (Terry `that's the woman I'm going to marry' Brooks); Julia Sawalha & Emma Pierson (feisty barmaids Janet & Connie); Jason Freeman (hapless barman Steve `that's coming out of your wages' Crosby); Rebecca Front (brewery rep `Bloody Ms Jackson, cow!'); Roy Heather (The Old Man); Andrew Mackay (The Prof); Jeff Rudom & Janine Buckley (The Huge Man & Tiny Lady); Barrie Gosney (Uncle Barrie); Gary (the pub dog) & a host of guest appearances from top character actors & comedians, including Alexander Armstrong; Dan Antopolski; Hilda Braid; Edna Doré; Jenny Éclair; Graham Fellows; Greg Fleet; Mike Gunn; Richard Herring; Terry Humphrey; Trevor Lock; Paul Putner; Frank Skinner; Michael Smiley; Dave Thompson; Rebecca Wheatley; Geoffrey Whitehead & many more. It's a show you can watch over & over - in addition to a plethora of catchphrases, running gags & double entendres, there are interesting plotlines, unexpected topics & clever parodies mixed together expertly with Murray's familiar character. An amazing thirty-seven episodes packed into two series, co-written by Al Murray & Richard Herring, with script editor Stewart Lee, it's never yet been shown on terrestrial television. Mine's a fruit-based drink for the lady & does anyone want some free crisps?
