So funny

One of the funniest things I have ever seen. I would so like to see this again.

Every week you knew 'Dodgy' (Yes mate, no mate) Phil would get a phone call and they'd end up changing the theme of the pub, the fun was in seeing how they would end up burning the pub down again. The writing was so funny, I missed a lot of it for laughing, and then there were all the incidentals like the pub sign, posters and blackboard that always had something amusing on them - if you could spot them. The funniest episode was when the Michael Caine appreciation society came all dressed as their idol. I think there was a fire alarm and they all evacuated in character - lol.

I so miss this show.

Did I laugh? yes mate, no mate, course mate!!

When I first saw "World of pub" I laughed so much that I missed about half of the first episode,this then happened with all the others I'm glad to say. I hadn't heard the radio series before seeing the T.V show but still feel (after having heard them) the scene was only enhanced by the "morose" acting of all involved.

This series will teach you everything you need to know about pub life in the U.K including "The Pub Olympics", "The Cockney Code" and "Drinking tactics" to mention a few things. Anything can happen in the pub and it always ends up in a fire!! If you've seen this I don't need to tell you how funny it is but if you haven't buy it or borrow your mates DVD and treat yourself to 3 hours of top British comedy, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
