Unfortunately finished last night
BUT its been that successful ITV have already commisioned another series


I love this geezer's brand of humour and the way he takes the piss out of everything especially, non british.

In the main he has a Z-Guest list, but everyone that comes on must be fully aware they are going to get the piss taking out of them something rotten. So goon on the guests that have appeared on this series.

Hopefully in the forthcoming series ITV will push the boat out a bit and spend more money attracting bigger celebs that we can see squirm in the pub-lounge.

This, for me, has been the best talk show ever. Yes ever.
Al Murray asks the questions you always felt yourself you wanted the interviewer to ask; and certainly asks the most embarressing questions.
Can you imagine if Wenger was on it. First question would be.
'Arse, have you always been blind?

Its obviously pre-recorded by a week or two or last night when louis Walsh was on he definately would of asked him about his split with X-Factor. As it was Louis Walsh waxed lyrically about Boyzone and Al asked how you found the name.
He said i was walking in Soho (indicating the seedier side) when i saw a um, can't recall how he said it , but anyway, a sex shop, i walked in and i saw this sign that said BOYS and ZONE. so i called them BOYSZONE.
Al murray said so you were in the area of the shop that said BOYS and idicated that he was in that ZONE Yeah right Louis, and kept coming back to it.

Anyway every guest got the treatment and most took it in good heart although i read Steve kemp was pissed off about Al really taking the piss out of him and SOFAS.

Al Murray ends every programme with a band playing a QUEEN number and joins them on stage midway through to sing horrendously.
Last night i cant remember the bands name but they were playing Queens 'WE WILL ROCK YOU' number and the whole audience was up on the feet, stamping their feet, clapping their hands, and then a curtain dropped for the REAL QUEEN to join in the jamming session and the look of AWE on Al Murrays face was a picture.
Al Murray then rushed over to Queen (who i genuinly believe are his heroes) to sing and watch in close-up admiration, Brian May giving it large on the old guitar. I could almost feel Al pulling his AIR-GUITAR out
The crowd now were whipped into a crescendo and the whole studio was
ROCKING.
It ended with the music still blaring, a tearful Al (dreams forfilled) thanking everyone esepcially Queen, and a see you soon.
It then panned to Al in bed with his pygamas on and his alarm clock goes off. He wakes up , turns it off , scratches his bald bonce and says.
'Oh what a eff dream i just had. I dreamt i was playing with Queen.'
The camera pans back and it shows Al in bed with the band members, and they all look at one another and scream.


PURE F*wibble QUALITY TV.

it is repeated during the week catch it if you can the ending was superb!.

watch the comedy series as well repeated paramount 1020 at the mo.
First series just finished but 2nd about 2-3 in now



great show as you say.

Every English person I know who has watched the programme over the last few weeks thought it great. Most non Brits totally fail to see the humour in repeated "where would you we be in there were no/too many rules ..... etc".

I've totally failed to get Mrs Striker to appreciate it. Must be something in the English genes!

Last night I almost expected Freddie to appear. But I won't go there or Dot might suddenly become homophobic again!!!

Thats not true French colleague of mine at work raves about it and loves it when they take the piss out of the French.
Last week at the beginning when he takes the piss out of members of the audience he picked on 2 indian/Pakistani origin women and when he asked their nameS one of them said something like rajpita, or something distinctly not English- but in an english accent. Al replied as he normally does, ' beautiful British Name. AND THEY BURST OUT LAUGHING.

Now all the audience knows exactly his humour just like all the audience knows exactly Bernard Mannings humour but you still get ethnic groups there to see and laugh along with him
Its just the PC brigade they get irked.

As regards Queen , they were never one of my favourite groups and i've never been a headbanger rock lover, but some of their music was excellent, and i particularly like we will rock you with audience participation.
BTW- my son said it was great is that really all the members of Queen
i said no all excpet the singer Freddie Mercury.
where is he said my son
dead i says mate.
w
died of what he asked? He was Gay and he died of Aids i replied.
I suppose i've opened a can of worms again there for the PC BRIGADE to jump on. But thats the truth

In Ricky Gervais biog thereesa bit about where he managed a Queen tribute band called Right Freds dead! Its not Al Murray standard but made me chuckle, thought actually gonbe into a band name..

I said most, not all.

Obviously foreigners in the audience are likely to love the programme since they know roughly what they are going to and wouldn't go if they didn't appreciate English schoolboy humour. Incidentally its nothing to do with ethnic groups. Anyone brought up in UK and who hasn't had a sense of humour bypass is likely to find AMHH amusing.

The best foreigner was the German guy a couple of weeks ago who had the p*ss taken out of him relentlessly. But who couldn't stop laughing.

I have no interest in watching Z-list celebs (unless they are being executed) so I have turned the programme off after the first advert break each time. The monologue he does before that is usually quite entertaining but last night's was a bit lame; it felt like the scriptwriters had run out of gags for the last show of the series. Not sure I can be bothered watching any more; it seems a bit of a one gag routine.

I think honkies forget that people of colour laugh at many jokes,even when they are the butt of..as long as there is not malice, like Al Murray.

You stick to your Parkinson then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Time Gentlemen Please...will always be a classic

Seen him live twice. Hes brilliant.

about as funny as a kick in the nuts.

not my cuppa.

Far better than the chat show.

Eh?
