Undescribable Perfection

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

After watching AL Murray on An audience with i became this mans greatest fan. He is so big headed, rude, but to the point. This sitcom is the best. Its mainly a one set show but the jokes as so well timed, well worded and Political Correctness is nowhere to be seen (and in Britain these days it s a blessed relief).Lines like "never confused" "where would we be without rules?" (wont put the answer) are priceless and i even use them in everyday life. This man is a genius, give him another run of this sitcom and let it shine again.Hear it for the Beer. All hale to the Ale. and welcome the wine, for the ladies. Pint for the fella, glass of white wine, fruit based drink for the lady.

A superficially simple but sometimes layered and always entertaining sit com. Based on Al Murray's stand up character of The Pub Landlord he created while comparing at Harry Hill's Pub Internationale show at Edinburgh. He took this Perrier Award winning formula and turned it into a series allowing him to extend the act from the one man show to include a full roster of your typical pub occupants: The career boozer, the loser barman, the staple barmaids - Aussie in the first series, student in the second, the Prof (he's wearing glasses!!!), the HUGE bloke/small bird combo, he old man with no name, the brewery rep (never pulled a pint in her life!!!), the rival landlord (he makes his money on the food!) and a few other semi regulars. A very catchphrase heavy show, but it all adds to the familiarity once you've seen a few episodes. Emulating pub chat everywhere it seemed no topic was safe from the Guv's and the other patrons roving eye. Common targets were the French, women, royalty, celebs and politicians. There some points where the stand up origins are very clear, a lot of the act does transfer well but there can be long monologues from the Guv, albeit funny ones.

Set in a no name pub somewhere in England, it was a brilliant sitcom full of satire such as the guv's speech on proper food after insulting the Germans and the Koreans "bangers and mash...the genitals and offal of a pig mashed up and stuffed into an intestinal sheath...now thats proper food". The amazing catch phrases that sprang up and not bothering to give half the characters proper names such as the old man and up to a point which gave birth to a wonderful line.(on the phone) Old man: Yes its the old man with no name...at the pub with no name.It was a sitcom completely unafraid to be non-PC, poking fun at religion and countries whilst making fun of the Guv's small mindedness and ignorance. I believe this to be one of the best sitcoms to ever be made definitely in this day and age. I hope its released on DVD one day.

Yeah it isn't the best comedy ever, but as someone who grew up watching shows such as "mind your language" and "Love Thy Neighbour" it is a refreshing return to the great sexist, racist un-pc British sense of humour that those shows had. For the most part the characters are amusing and I get at least a few laughs out of each episode. Considering how "nice" comedies have generally become in recent years it is a pleasant change.
