BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

simon3818 What a sitcom. These days of political correctness where people in England cant fly the English flag in case it offends, this is such a relief. Made in 2000 and 2002, Al Murray is the pub landlord of a pub with no name and only 5 regular patrons. Prof - Named because he wears glasses.Lesley and Leslie who sit quietly in the corner.Terry - Who thinks hes gods gift to women where in reality last time he had a bath was when the vicar chucked him in the font. And he has a farting problem.Old Pops - Sits there reminding when the prof won £2 on the quiz machine and doesn't have a real name.Throughout the series, Guv is explaining he mad logic on the world, taking the pi** out of everything and everyone who walks in and treating his barman Steve (who has inspirations to by anything including a postman and ploughman) very badly and paying him £1.80 an hour. First series introduces to Janet - the loud mouth Aussie who's looking for work; Aussies - Bread for bar work. Its instinct!!! is the usual cry we hear and also Vicki "Ms" Jackson who's the brewery rep and never pulled a pint in her life. She has a habit of singing a popular song that no one claims to have heard of. The Second series, Janet has ran off back to Aus to avoid her ex and we have the rather gorgeous Connie and everyone apart from Terry is in love with her (and so am I). Shame she doesn't feel the same.Guv's local rival (Greg Thompson) turns up every now and then always accompanied by a young lady and makes a joke about the Guv, the pub or his manhood trying his best to pull either Janet or Connie. The other local landlords also show on occasions (one is the guv's "uncle" Barry.)Thats all I'm saying for now about it - watch it on Paramount Comedy 2 or catch Happy Hour in ITV on Fridays.The pub landlord creation by Murray is fantastic. Hes big headed, xenophobic, completely un-PC and its refreshing when PC is thrust ed upon us all the time in everything. I hope they make more of these or at least bring them all out on DVD.Its amazing when an Australian comments on this, its always negative. Hey its meant to be funny, if you don't like it we don't particularly like being called poms - even in our own country. 12-10 12-10 lets hear it for the beer, All hail to the ale and welcome the wine, for the ladies.

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.

dave-346 i have been watching this show, which is on it's first series, after seeing interviews with Al Murray in a lot of the monthly magazines. Al plays a sexist, narrow minded, stubborn landlord of what must be the scruffiest pub in Britain, where only the 5 regulars seem to be the only customers! The laughs come thick and fast as Murray rants about women, the French('they're up to something!!') Brussels, and pub theme nights('the only theme a pub needs is BEER!!!') Julia Sawahla(Absolutely Fabulous) plays the brash, foul mouthed Aussie barmaid who never gets paid, and Phil Daniels (Quadrophenia) plays the local slob who keeps getting barred out!If you like the humour of 'Harry Hill' and 'Bottom', then you'll love 'TGMP'.
