What a sitcom. These days of political correctness where people in England cant fly the English flag in case it offends, this is such a relief. Made in 2000 and 2002, Al Murray is the pub landlord of a pub with no name and only 5 regular patrons. Prof - Named because he wears glasses.
Lesley and Leslie who sit quietly in the corner.
Terry - Who thinks hes gods gift to women where in reality last time he had a bath was when the vicar chucked him in the font. And he has a farting problem.
Old Pops - Sits there reminding when the prof won £2 on the quiz machine and doesn't have a real name.
Throughout the series, Guv is explaining he mad logic on the world, taking the pi** out of everything and everyone who walks in and treating his barman Steve (who has inspirations to by anything including a postman and ploughman) very badly and paying him £1.80 an hour. First series introduces to Janet - the loud mouth Aussie who's looking for work; Aussies - Bread for bar work. Its instinct!!! is the usual cry we hear and also Vicki "Ms" Jackson who's the brewery rep and never pulled a pint in her life. She has a habit of singing a popular song that no one claims to have heard of. The Second series, Janet has ran off back to Aus to avoid her ex and we have the rather gorgeous Connie and everyone apart from Terry is in love with her (and so am I). Shame she doesn't feel the same.
Guv's local rival (Greg Thompson) turns up every now and then always accompanied by a young lady and makes a joke about the Guv, the pub or his manhood trying his best to pull either Janet or Connie. The other local landlords also show on occasions (one is the guv's "uncle" Barry.)
Thats all I'm saying for now about it - watch it on Paramount Comedy 2 or catch Happy Hour in ITV on Fridays.
The pub landlord creation by Murray is fantastic. Hes big headed, xenophobic, completely un-PC and its refreshing when PC is thrust ed upon us all the time in everything. I hope they make more of these or at least bring them all out on DVD.
Its amazing when an Australian comments on this, its always negative. Hey its meant to be funny, if you don't like it we don't particularly like being called poms - even in our own country. 12-10 12-10 lets hear it for the beer, All hail to the ale and welcome the wine, for the ladies.
