What happened to Have I Got News For You this week?
Paul Merton and Ian Hislop were joined by Al Murray in the chair and among the guests was Germaine Greer.
During the days running up to recording (Thursday evening), terrorists have attacked the city of Mumbai,
Woolworths and MFI announced serious woe and various reports of impending [...]
Castrated?
Waiting Game…
[singlepic=14,320,240,,right]Al Murray might be back this Friday, and Harry Hill might be back next month; Enfield and Whitehouse are back on our screens too, but right now it’s Monday evening and all I’ve got is every single episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus to watch.
No bad thing, but I’ve seen them more than once. [...]
Harry’s Back in October!
[singlepic=13,320,240,,right]Only one man can make sense of the countless hours of television that grace our screens on a daily basis, and in October Harry Hill is back with his much missed TV Burp!
If you’ve never seen the show, you probably wonder what all the fuss is about. Basically, Hill takes the mickey - in [...]
There’s Al Murray!
[singlepic=14,320,240,,right]Oh Yesh! Free tickets are available for the third series of Al Murray’s Happy Hour which returns to our screens on Friday September 12th!
With guests Phil Collins and Gene Hunt actor Philip Glenister, the testosterone is likely to cause some laughs: meanwhile new Kids on the Block (yes, you read that right and haven’t gone [...]
Where’s Al Murray?
[singlepic=14,320,240,,right]Friday nights with Al Murray frankly cannot come around fast enough. If there was ever a reason to knock nightclubs on the head, it’s the Pub Landlord himself, with his nationalistic pride, stuffed late dog and tales of woe in life and love. With a typically British stiff upper lip, the wartime spirit and a [...]

[singlepic=13,320,240,,right]ITV have revealed their Autumn television line up, with Harry Hill and Al Murray both returning to Saturday evenings.
The two very different standup acts bookend a new season of television starting in September with the new variety show For One Night Only vying for press attention against The X Factor.
ITV have got the big guns [...]
I was never confused
[singlepic=14,320,240,,right]Friday nights with Al Murray frankly cannot come around fast enough. If there was ever a reason to knock nightclubs on the head, it’s the Pub Landlord himself, with his nationalistic pride, stuffed late dog and tales of woe in life and love.
With a typically British stiff upper lip, the wartime spirit and a love [...]
No Al Murray?!
[singlepic=14,320,240,,right]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 [...]
Al Murray book reviewed
[singlepic=15,240,320,,right]Causing a certain amount of surprise and a definite source of amusing on Christmas Day was Al Murray’s The Pub Landlord’s Book of British Common Sense.
I went off comedy books a few years ago when I was heartily disappointed by Wayne’s World, and hadn’t really recovered – Murray’s tome has restored my faith in the [...]
Print Spinoffs
The age of the comedy spinoff is most certainly with us, with companion guides and kerching cashins a-plenty in Borders and Waterstones last Christmas. Most notable of these was Al Murray’s The Pub Landlord’s Book of British Common Sense which I’ll be reviewing once I’ve cleaned up all the wee.
Previous years have seen chimps such [...]
