Fact Hunt

[geeef]

Any 'whores have any info on this new Al Murray ITV1 series? I guess it must be lined up for the autumn schedule at some point, but what it actually is I have no idea. All I know is that the Go-Home productions guy, who did the Sex Pistols/Madonna mash-up single, has done the theme music.

It's a quiz show, done in a pub quiz style setting apparently.

I know that sounds really unpromising, but Al Murray is at his best when ripping into the general public. One of the best bits of going to see Time Gentlemen Please recorded (where Fact Hunt comes from) was for the bits between the takes where Al would generally on top form.

Heh heh, the curse of Avalon is in full swing here, it would seem.

I always thought Al Murray was at his best when standing next to Harry Hill in a curly wig. But never mind.

EDIT: Erm, he is pretty good anyway, BTW. It's just that he'll always be Big Alan to me...

I like the name of the show anyway, that should keep the continuity announcers on their toes.

Can we expect lots of jokes seemingly created to amuse Garry Bushell and his former readership?

I adore Alan Hill. Al Murray Pub Landlord I've not seen much of. The live show of his I did see - in parts - seemed shambolic and shouty and I'll admit to not having seen the TV series, how was it?

It was like a museum of rejected catchphrases from other shows.
