Synopsis:

BSG Review:

Originally a BBC Radio 4 sitcom World of Pub found its way to telly in 2001. A sitcom with sketch show sensibilities, it draws from the same talent pool that has informed some of the best British comedies of the past decade, from I'm Alan Partridge to The Office and Green Wing through to The Thick Of It.

It has rarely been seen on TV since, despite picking up some great reviews and a cult following when it was broadcast.
