What the press have said about Al Murray - The Pub Landlord’s previous quiz Compete for the Meat:

“… superluminally-quick, haranguing banter, sharp as a tequila shot but as inoffensive as a pint of mild… this is simply brilliant knockabout fun. No question.”
Steve Bennett, The Mail On Sunday

“…utterly hilarious from start to finish.”
Observer New Review
