Whatthefeck?
I love Spaced and Father Ted - I have the DVD box sets of both. Saw the first episode of Early Doors but it didn't make me watch more.
Anyhoooo ...
To vaguely direct the thread geographically:
I'm also a fan of Al Murray and also have the DVD box set of Time, Gentlemen, Please. Well observed (I recognise some situations), very funny, and while the exterior location was filmed in Ladbroke Grove, W10, the whole thing has echoes of East London boozers of my (ample) experience. Not sure how the Guv would react to a pub ghost - he could swing between self-inflicted fear and exploitation.
As long as he got a carvery out of it.
