So it was with a tearful eye from laughing too much that I watched Al Murray introduce Queen + Paul Rodgers last week, and it became apparent that I wouldn’t be watching The Pub Landlord on television for a long time.

It has been a great series, a bit more assured than the first, and while certain rants and observations are retrieved from a cellar of stock dialogue (see what I did there) – for instance you can find Murray’s comments on “Football Isn’t As Good As It Used To Be” in his book – the guests have been great, the musical acts have been reasonably good, and Murray himself has been excellent, shining in particular when interviewing various sexy female guests and demonstrating his unparalleled audience interaction.

We’ll  miss him, but hopefully he’ll be back next year…
