Synopsis

The Pub Landlord’s rules are a pint for the fella and a glass of white wine or fruit based drink for the lady. It might be the 21st century but the landlord’s gaff is the last bastion of all things normal. He ain’t interested in change. It’s just the way things are, and don’t you or anybody else go questioning it.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Simon 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.
chornaey 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.
cydermaster Shear genius!!! This sitcom just keeps getting better!!! 18 Episodes in (18! - you don't get that on terrestrial) & it still has me wetting myself every week. Catchphrases abound: "Its not normal","never confused","I'm cheeky me","Look at his face - its a picture","Back off Brussels","Damn my bean shaped face","COW! Never pulled a pint in her life","Mustards Yellow - not Brown!","They play bowls on gravel for pitys sake!" and "Do you remember when the Prof won £2 out of that machine". Funniest telly since the Fast Show.
Dante Hicks This is without a doubt one of the funniest shows British television has produced in ages. Al Murray is superb as he translates perfectly his stand-up character, the landlord, into a sitcom star. His unusual and un-PC rantings almost always hit the spot and though his supporting characters are rarely given any material to work with who cares? He carries the show on his own with only Terry and, more recently, The Prof lending any comic support. Julia Sawalha is completely wasted. Steve is equally unfunny, and he's a stand-up comic apparently, but to be fair to them they haven't much to work with. The gags come fast and often and with most of them revolving around the pub trade (which has been meticulously copied, go to a real pub during the day and you'll see what I mean), the French and the landlord's own take on life, they're always good. A rare treat and I've become quite hooked, here's to a second series.
