@Mr Mk7 new to the internet? I found this great site, I think it's called Google? What you do is type the name of the show in a "search box", it goes off and find information about it! Incredible! Personally I don't know how we lived without it! Give it a go, you might like it 🤣
Some of my best nights out were when I just went down the pub/bar by myself, the local backpackers bar was the best. Met tons of people, free drinks, woke up the next morning not remembering how I got home. brilliant. Different story for an attractive young woman being hit on, leered at and probably getting her drink spiked. It's quite hard to find a Rohypnol distributor which is why I buy it in bulk.
Loved this series, when it first came out on Sky 1 back in 2000. The pub which was shown on the exterior shots was at the junction of Barlby Road and Ladbroke Grove in Notting Hill W10. Now demolished and brown office type block in it's place. Used to work down the road from the pub and passed it alot.
I agree, Red dwarf had a few gag on gag moments, Fawlty towers was cleverer, but from what I have seen (up to halfway, series 1) this is some amazing writing and the gags get stacked up soo many times, in so many episodes. A Pre-punch-punchline, punchline.
great to hear that from a yank rather than we would be speaking german without them whitch is nonsense but always have loved the US every state is different and has such a big diversity between the different states love from the UK brother.
@@imbetterthanyouis Nah m8 we beat Argentine in 1982 with help from no one else. Everyone knows that war wasnt for oil but for penguins the most essential ingredient for making Guinness.
I'm from America and have never seen this series before. It's hilarious! I love the characters and the running gags. It's fun to see what Saffy got up to after AbFab. Subscribed! You have a new fan.
True, but both seasons are significantly longer than most British sitcoms - there's more TGP episodes than Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, and Bottom combined.
@@pikeybot I am just starting to watch this show for the first time and your description of your favorite episode has me laughing so hard just imagining it, I have tears in my eyes from the laughter.
@Peter Bishop Lol, way ahead of you mate. I've owned the DVD boxset for years! (I checked it to find out how many episodes there were lol). It's a great series. Every now and then I dust it off and binge watch them. It's cool that Al is uploading them on here though! More people need to see it!
I love the way you Yanks misspell favourite as, 'favorite'. Do you know why? It's because it doesn't have u [that's a play on the word, 'you', for the slow fellas] in it.
Good Friday, stuck at home and gonna watch them all again. Back when best of British comedy was the envy of the free world. Class adsolute class. Good on ya Al.
Who else forgot these existed n went off to binge watch? 😝 Funnier than when I was younger & Phil's farts actually make me laugh more than the _Bottom_ of Rik or Ade. Ruddy bloody good sitcom👍🏻
I didn't have Sky ( have never had it) but I remember watching this programme. Must have been on STV as well (was commisioned by ITV initially). To be honest one of the most memorable things was Herring as the postie with the "bean face".
What a treat. This is/was the best late night show on TV (until Happy Hour). Some shows aren't as good as you remember them being. This one IS. I was even vocalising along with the theme at the end. Thanks Al.
Good grief, we used to follow each other on Twitter, I can't believe I've never watched this series, mind you I was working permanent nights at the time 🤔 Love it 👍🏻
One of my favourite sitcoms ever, though sadly not too many people seem to have seen it. Al Murray is a genuine genius of comedy, whether it's on this show, or his stand up comedy.
Excellent - 'Carry On' . . . from a proud Canadian Loyalist. Please for the sake of we North American 'Colonial' cousins, when you can, add Queen's English' subtitles 'cause some of the obvious best reparte is lost on the journey to this side the pond. This series is going to be a huge huge success ! It's absolutely 'Revolutionary'.
@@swaninabox1488 Canada's independence was granted on April 17th 1982 it was incorporated in 1867. Incidentally it was initialised in Highclere castle the home of the Earl of Carnarvon which tv watchers will better know it as Downton Abbey or Totleigh Towers. If you can't tell the difference between the USA and Canada I suggest you don't visit.
Probably the most overlooked sitcom classic ever... Maybe if Al had soul his soul to the BBC instead of Sky, it would be better known, maybe even as popular as Nick Knowles' DIY SOS.
Poor old Steve. Not much comes to fruition for him. His cake is always dough! Great character. "But that's impossible!" Very good physical comedy as with the beer barrel. 2 thumbs up.
Around about 2008/2009 I started shaving my head, and my mate Dave began calling me 'Bullet Head', and when I asked him where he got that from, he told me about this sitcom, so I rented the DVDs and he watched it. For a British sitcom, they were prolific, way more episodes per series than most BBC things. (I stopped shaving my head not long after, although it is very satisfying rubbing your hand over your stubbly scalp).

I adored this show as a student - thanks for uploading, great memories. The hospital episode had me crying laughing, please upload them all Guv!

Phil Daniels, legend in his own right.
It's a beautiful thing, a man on his own in a pub.

An iconic building type, how sad its gone.
A truly underrated show. Brilliantly written. Defo up their with the classics like Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Bottom, Fawlty Towers etc.
Are you mad, comparing a bang average show, with the classics?
Only fools and horses has got to be mentioned
Agreed!
It`s better than all those except possibly Fawlty Towers.

I was in the audience for this. Can't believe how long ago it was now.
Scary, innit? The early 2000s seem just a year or two ago to me, not 20!
I have both series' on the DVD boxset but I would love it to be available as a digital purchase.
I need to watch more of this! Why isn't American TV this good? Wait, don't answer that.
How have I, as a 37 year old Brit, never seen or heard of this? This is absolutely brilliant!
al murray is funny as hell-why have i never seen this????
My fav line from "Terry" was.. A mouths a mouth 🤣🤣🤣
Never knew he had a sitcom. He’s a great character and that pub is so lifelike!
I went to the actual pub in Ladbroke Grove it is parodying,and it really was like this!!
